languages/perl6/README mostly reflects the status with respect to the language definition of about 4-5 months ago. Differences include: - IIRC hyper-assignment operators are there. - regex capture groups are partial/flaky, not completely unimplemented. Joseph Ryan has updated string and numeric literals to correspond to the latest consensus on the list. Other than that, it's inconsistent with the current spec in a number of ways. A lot of it's just syntax (e.g. hyper-ops, for which I'll have to cut-and-paste the non-ASCII bits). The tests should all still pass (barring inclement GC bugs), but they reflect the outdated spec. /s
