The Perl Documentation Project (PDP) is my attempt to create a
centralized documentation system for Perl like Linux has in it's Linux
Documentation Project (LDP). The LDP has been a boon for Linux and I
think Perl is
away from it ever since.

import() is not called automatically by Perl. It's called
automatically by the module Exporter.pm. Subtle but important
difference there.

I agree. There are "perks" to building Perl 6, etc.

In that case I'd rather use this syntax:

maybe this is:
:
:$a ca $b;
:
: For "concat after"?
Now this sparks my interest. :)
The only think I don't like is:
$a ce $b;
$a ca $b;
because I'm so used to seing
$a [char]= $b;
I would think of:
$a c= $b;
but then the ca() idea might not be feasible unless we thought:
$a ce= $b;
$a ca= $b;
was a good idea.

: will simply become concatination operators. Consider
:
: print "Foo"
: foo("bar");

: there? Also, consider this...
Or, did they intend to concatinate 'print' and "Foo" in void context?

we go this route, we may as well just use 'cc'. Much less typing
: (no chording), less confusing, analagous to 'eq' and
: 'gt'.
I like 'cc' for that very reason. String operators should look the
same, imho.

Numeric context wins.
I am not opposed to this idea, I see it to be quite easy to
understand, even without explicit parens, though they help.

No thanks. We already have the ability to put white space around '->'
which is helpfull a la Soap::Lite.
Besides, I can't think of instances where white space matters without
being except:
print <<__EOT__
__EOT__
which is easily avoidable via 'print <<" __EOT__"'.
