Could you please provide some more info on STD_P5? Is it's purpose to allow you to write a minimal Perl 5 parser in Perl 6?

It is meant to be a (mostly complete, as far as that works) Perl 5 parser in Perl 6.

Is STD_P5 still being actively developed?

Not currently, blocking on TimToady being on vacation first, then YAPC::EU and finally needing most of his Perl 6 tuits for answering questions from the other developers.

But it's not abandoned, in the sense that he plans to hack on it again, once he gets around to it.

What's the Perl 6 developers' opinion on its value?

I can't speak for the masses of the p6 developers, but I for one welcome our new p5 embracing overlords.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
