And again: this is only because you know perl 5. People are not born knowing perl 5; to someone who doesn't know it, perldoc raises the same kinds of questions you have been asking, and the answers have to be found in perlsyn or perldata, etc. Which is exactly what you have been complaining about with respect to perl 6 doing the same kind of thing.
