Is it going to think 'ahah, perl 6' or 'perl 5 with errors'?
It's going to think 'ahah', perl 5'. Because it doesn't contain any Perl 6 keyword (such as 'module' or 'class'), as Mark said.
But then trying to process that as Perl 5 will result in an error. This doesn't seem particularly sane to me. Will we have to say
use 6;
on all Perl 6 programs to avoid this kind of thing?
Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here.
