The Perl Documentation Project (PDP) is my attempt to create a
centralized documentation system for Perl like Linux has in it's Linux
Documentation Project (LDP). The LDP has been a boon for Linux and I
think Perl is
away from it ever since.

Until you start running their code on parrot, or compile it to Perl
bytecode. :-)
Darn, nasty thoughts out loud again.

import() is not called automatically by Perl. It's called
automatically by the module Exporter.pm. Subtle but important
difference there.

So you're suggesting that we fake lexical scoping? That sounds more
icky than sticking to true lexical scoping. A block dictates scope,
not
I just met this camel at the San Diego Zoo. His name is Santana. He
is IIRC 3 months old.
My proposal: Perl 6 should be code named Santana

Since we're all sitting here at this meeting, I figure it's on topic. :-)

I agree. There are "perks" to building Perl 6, etc.

In that case I'd rather use this syntax:

Or... maybe not...

maybe this is:
:
:$a ca $b;
:
: For "concat after"?
Now this sparks my interest. :)
The only think I don't like is:
$a ce $b;
$a ca $b;
because I'm so used to seing
$a [char]= $b;
I would think of:
$a c= $b;
but then the ca() idea might not be feasible unless we thought:
$a ce= $b;
$a ca= $b;
was a good idea.

: will simply become concatination operators. Consider
:
: print "Foo"
: foo("bar");

: Did the author forget a semi-colon, or did they intend to concatinate
: there? Also, consider this...
Or, did they intend to concatinate 'print' and "Foo" in void context?

we go this route, we may as well just use 'cc'. Much less typing
: (no chording), less confusing, analagous to 'eq' and
: 'gt'.
I like 'cc' for that very reason. String operators should look the
same, imho.

Numeric context wins.
I am not opposed to this idea, I see it to be quite easy to
understand, even without explicit parens, though they help.

No thanks. We already have the ability to put white space around '->'
which is helpfull a la Soap::Lite.
Besides, I can't think of instances where white space matters without
being except:
print <<__EOT__
__EOT__
which is easily avoidable via 'print <<" __EOT__"'.
