I didn't know about the pugs docs, that's really helpful. I would say the synopses are awesome. It is like reading one of those Programmers Notes ORA books but even more to the point. The only problem I see, is that the corner cases aren't explained very well, and that is very apparent when you wa

Hi Mr. Mathews, PXPerl (http://pxperl.com/) has a version of Perl6 compiled into the build. That should get you started. Regards, Chris On 5/18/06, Michael Mathews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Like Thomas, I'm interested in having a go, in my case I'd like to install something I can play wit

As it happens I am running OS X, and may try to install everything this weekend. Haskell, eh? That should be interesting. If no one can provide a step-by-step for doing this whole process (erm, pleeease?) I'll try to write one up myself. Let you know. --m On 18/05/06, David Romano <[EMAIL PROTE

Where can I find a Perl 6 langauge reference?

2006-05-18 Thread Thomas Wittek
Where should I start, when I want to get myself a picture of the current Perl 6 language features and syntax? Where is the best place to take a look at, when I want to start experimenting with Perl 6 and pugs? Would you recommend reading the synopses[1]? Or should I take a look at pugs-doc? Or is

2006-05-18 Thread Markus Laire
