Per #perl6 suggestion, we are reactivating this newsgroup to serve as an information exchange for users of early pre-release
prototype versions of Perl 6. (We use the somewhat redundant phrase "early pre-release prototype" to hopefully keep "total newbies" from being mislead about the present status of Perl 6, and jumping in too soon.) Topics of particular interest include: getting started with Perl 6, incremental migration from Perl 5, developing Perl 6 tools, important modules to know about, current Perl 6 status and news, and so on. A "Perl 6 (Early Pre-Release Prototype) User FAQ" will be updated and posted each week-end, starting around May 6-7, 2006. It will accumulate the most useful information and resource links from each week's series of postings (and other sources). A major aim is to lower the bar a bit for early-adapters, and to make it easier for people to effectively experiment with Perl 6 without having to search around as much to get started, and to help fill in intermediate documentation gaps in the process. In other words, share the -Ofun. Please post your content requests and suggested content. Thanks, Conrad Schneiker PS: "Why I must help Perl6" :-) Perl 6 - the software launch pad of the "singularity" age. Perl 6 - the collaborative language of super-natural intelligence. Perl 6 - the first mainstream-class super-dynamic programming system.
