Re: Module naming conventions

Hi Patrick, To reduce list traffic, I'm replying to both of your emails together. Just because these are the only adverbs mentioned doesn't necessarily mean they're the only ones that will be allowed. Ok. My interpretation was that adding adverbs would require updating the spec. More import

Hi, I'm new here, so forgive me if this is not the right list. After having used perl5 a lot years ago, this weekend I finally decieded to have a look at perl6. I followed Moritz Lenz' recent series of articles in iX magazin [1] and got rakudo running: git clone git://github.com/rakudo/rakud

Re: rakudo-current loop 2-3 orders of magnitude slower than perl 5?

Hi Chris, In addition to Patrick's excellent reply, I'd like to mention that one way to help the project is to just write code in Perl 6. This is a good way to find bugs, including performance bugs. One little project I'm doing is I'm porting the benchmarks from the Debian language shootout

slowness in grammar

Is this a good place to come with code that runs into speed problems? I am writing a program in perl6 to read the xml file from a Sony book reader, list the books, and move books into collections (the Sony software to do this will only work on windoz and not on wine). I have a grammar that wo
