I have read that perl 5.8 ought to handle utf-16 without me needing to
tell it anything.
But I am now getting the behavior I expect.

I think the new grammar feature (to me, it's very similar to what
Parse::RecDescent does today, but P::RD has problems and it's slow as
noted by others) is going

34 people came to Tuesday's tech meeting!
I'm afraid I have an unfortunate postscript to add. I attended the

I hope we're not starting a flamewar here... Note that I'm not going to
irrationally bash Perl 6 here (despite my past record about it). Read on for
the rest of my reply.

If it were implemented exactly as Audrey said, it would -- if checking
for $Module.pmc first, then for $Module.pm , which doubles the number
of fstats to (upto) 2*scalar @INC.

Many possible reasons ...
* Masochistic desire to be an alpha tester.
* Starting a new project that will be maintained well into the Perl 6
era, writing it with "use v6;" style may lower maintenance costs later
after your maintenance programmers are P6

hi
some thoughts came to mind after listening to audrey's talk.
what reasons are there to use perl 6?
what can it do that i can't do with with X language?
why write something using perl 6?
[and we can skip the stuff about whether it's production ready or not-
that is valid for all software
I read Audrey's Tang blog and some things it linked to. Great stuff. I
learned that *.pmc files have precedence over *.pm files. Does this introduce
a security issue, i.e. anything new beyond the existing risks? I wonder if an
evil *.pmc file might not even be noticed when searching for a
