If you want to see how they work, use the search facility in the Roast repo. If you want to see how they are defined, use the search facility in the Rakudo repo. Cheers JJ

Long answer: it's a bit more complicated than that.
First, there's the synopsis: (first result in Baidu)
http://design.perl6.org/ Those are the initial guidelines that specify
the language, the core modules, and the behavior of everything. That's
the starting point.
Then, there's roast: https://github.com/perl6/roast Roast is rather
ROAST, "Repository of All Spec Tests". Those are the tests that a
compiler or interpreter must pass if it wants to be called Perl 6. So
far, only Rakudo passes those tests.
And then, of course, there's Rakudo. There are some user-accessible
classes and modules that you can use, but they are not part of the
language itself, only part of the only language compiler existing for
the time being.
Hope this helps

Hi All,
Is the Perl 6 design specification (the one the developers use)
out there somewhere on the web that I could look at?
Many thanks,

Hi JJ,
Yes it helps a bunch. Thank you!
Follow up: where would I find the design specifications for the functions?

Perl 6 Design specification?
Hi All, Is the Perl 6 design specification (the one the developers use) out there somewhere on the web that I could look at? Many thanks, -T
