Hi,
I am making a presentation about Perl6 this week end. My point will
be: the next generation of applicative languages will be scripting
languages because they have come of age.
Alternatives don't cut it anymore. Indeed C and C++ are memory
allocation nightmare; Java and C# don't have read-ev

Hi,
(I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed.)
one day a friend asked if Perl 5 had a REPL facility.
(Read-Eval-Print-Loop). I told him it has perl -de0, which is different
