I've been putting a fair amount of thought into this. Here's what
I've come up with:
Perl 6 has several instances where whitespace is required or forbidden
in order to better facilitate "Do What I Mean" programming: for
instance, by having the presence or absence of whitespace before curly
braces

This is wrong, since S02 also defines intra-line comments, under
"Whitespace and Comments". It calls them 'embedded comments'. You
don't need a 'use' statemen
I love this list. I wish I had more of value to contribute. =o]
But for those of you who don't want to read a long blather, this is
mostly opinion, hopefully sans soapbox. Feel free to skip to the end.

Is it not possible to skip the commented sections by the parser?
Why have every other popular language, that i know, multiline comments
included without any problems? It would be very useful for better
developing with perl.
If you would use a mlc like =# #= where the opening ta

...and since it wasn't, you probably should have chosen other brackets such as:

Whitespace is significant in many places. Even in some of the corners
of Perl 5. Perl 6 has a different set of rules, and it will take some
getting used to, but the rules are designed to let you do things as
naturally as possible.This, for instance, works fine:
my @values =
# (1,2,3) # old

Perl 6 already has a robust system for multiline and embedded
comments, as des

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

What you think about it?

It was just kind of a pain because you
had to put a "=cut" after the "=end", and because you had to put
paragraph spaces between everything. We're getting rid of both of
those restrictions.
Excellent! That's what was really bugging me. I'm really glad that is
changing :)
Thanks,

All incarnations of Perl have allowed us to begin multiple subsequent
lines with the comment glyph '#'. I am sure Perl 6 will not break this
tradition.
