Perl6::Doc # Hail to the new pharao

2007-12-29 Thread herbert breunung

Hereby I declare myself as the Pharao of the Perl 6 Documentation.

My first sign of regence will be most probably tomorrow the release the 
initial stable release of


http://search.cpan.org/~lichtkind/Perl6-Doc/

this is a perly command line tool to read perl 6 related documentation. 
The code was actually made by
Ingy döt net since this is just an updated version of Perl6::Bible which 
will hereby depreciated.
It contains the newest version of the Synopses, Apocalypses and 
Exegesis, like Perl6::Bible did,
plus the more usefull docs from the Pugs repository including the 
tutorial. I have also plans to add
my perl article (once they transelated) for $foo perl magazine and maybe 
some perl.com articles,

if chomatic allowes.

I plan also include my wiki styled tutorial that i began to translate 
these days, as you can see under


http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?perl_table

Yes i renamed it perl tables, to avoid namespace collision with the 
already started perl tutorial in pugs SVN,
and also because its a much nicer and more descriptive name of what it 
does. its a table like summary of all
perl 6 feature, so well ordered and with some aditional explaining text, 
so you can always find quickly if you

look for something. its also a reference to the

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet

which contained all the wisdom people of ancient times had. so it should 
perl tables contain all wisdom about perl.

As always everybody is invited,

blessfull holidays
end of communication

It's fine with O'Reilly, as long as the authors of the articles agree (they 
hold the copyright).  Where I'm the author, you have my permission.

O'Reilly generally asks that you include a link to the original article as 
published on our site, but that's a request and not a requirement.

.cgi?  Is that really a CGI-based implementation?  Because that seems
a little, I don't know, backward-looking.  Maybe it's just me, but it
seems like it will just feed the all-too-common perception that Perl
is for CGI scripts, and "real" web apps need to be written in
something else (be it Java, PHP, Ruby/Rails, whatever).

Besides, I hope that the language and wiki will be successful enough
that a cgi-based implementation will completely fail to scale to meet
demand. :)

Maybe the site maintainers could add an Apache rewrite rule
so the URLs used by the public will be

   http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.p6
and
   http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.parrot

That would change the perception and we would not need to explain
about mod_perl running the .cgi scripts at the rate 100-200 faster
than good old CGI.

When asked if they really run on Perl 6 and Parrot we could just smile...

Proposed new rule: for every ten contributions to the wiki, you get one 
bikeshed mail.

It's not a *bad* idea, but it's less important in my mind than getting useful 
information on the wiki.  Anyone who wants to pursue it can do so, but I'd 
like to forestall a long digression on the list about it.  That's all.

Multiline comments in Perl6

2007-12-29 Thread Christian Mueller
Hello list,

i don't know the actually state in the discussion about multiline
comments, but i would propose an idea.. a combination of POD's = and the
traditional route char...

=#
this is a multi
line comment
#=

=# comment #= this is not commented

What you think about it?

regards
Christian
