If there were any mercy in the world, perl-6 would be dead now. Unfortunately it dragged the rest of Perl with it.
We have been having the same conversation for over a decade. Sure perl-6 squeezed out a steaming pile and called in Rakudo Star but it wasn't worth using and then they decided to rewrite it again and again and again. It's funny to read in this thread the argument over documenting *LITERALS* because even the specification for what might eventually be in 6.0 is still not finished.
Both of the Perl programmers remaining in 2024 will be arguing over this stillborn fiasco. Mark my words.

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).
