My understanding is that the happy and long-awaited release announcement
was done on Christmas out of tradition of announcing Perl releases on
Christmas, that it means that the specification of the language is now
declared as (fairly) stable, but the implementation is a different matter.

Hi,
I wanted to file a couple of tickets about Rakudo. Unfortunately, i
couldn't find instructions for doing it anywhere at www.rakudo.org or
dev.perl.org/perl6/ .
So how do i do it?

Is there a rakudo package for cygwin?
There's parrot and parrot-languages, but none of them seems to include
anything that looks like "rakudo" or "perl6".
Do i have to build it myself to try it? Or didn't i look well enough?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, all,
If you speak Russian, check out http://www.perl6.ru (in case you
haven't already).
Andrey Shitov works at the famous Art. Lebedev studio in Moscow. He's
the programming guy in a bunch of designers.
His blog about Perl 6 is rarely updated, but when it is, it has a very
interesting info.
* Anything else that should go into the requirements?
It would be even cooler if the command
$ p6explain 'some_user_defined_sub'
would display prettily-formatted pod for that sub and would work
transparently, regardless of whether this sub is defined in the Perl
standard library, CPAN module

Another important loss if we were to go with <1..3> would be the
ability to have runtime-dependent ranges; e.g.:
/ ($ntimes) x**{$ntimes} /
That's exactly what i meant by "something stupid".

(I'm just studying the intricacies of Perl 6, so please correct me if
i say something stupid or if this has already been discussed before.)
I was looking for the Perl 6 equivalent of
"aaa" =~ /a{1,3}/
and finally found that it's
"aaa" ~~ /a**{1 .. 3}/
This looked rather weird, so i asked on I

Yes. (Or endorsement by @Larry.) My guess is that something like this is

Hi,
There was so much talk about perl6 wiki, that i couldn't follow it anymore.
Is there a currently working wiki where actual perl6 documentation can

However, as has been pointed out regarding MS Word, most users only
use a very tiny subset of its functionality. The problem is that the users
are using different subsets. I've done huge amounts of HTML parsing and
can't recall having used GDBM_File.
It all comes to *different* subsets
