Docs home

    http://doc.perl6.org/

I've worked my way through

    http://doc.perl6.org/language.html

For the most part, each section linked that page has its own subdirectory 

under ./tutorials/perl6/

Re-reading tutorials_blogs/perl6/concurrency/ to get promises and supplies 

more firmly in my head.  Pick up on channels.

REFERENCE {#{{{

    

    http://perl6intro.com/

    I've got this listed below, but don't use it enough.  It's not a full 

    reference, but it's nicely laid out, and when you're doing that "shit I 

    can't remember how to do X" thing, you can often find X here.

}#}}}

pragma {#{{{

    

    You can start your p6 program with:

            use v6;

    That has no effect if you run the thing with perl6.  But if you 

    accidentally invoke it as

            $ perl scriptname.p6

    It'll bomb out because you tried running it through p5.  It probably would 

    have bombed out anyway, but I guess there's a chance with a tiny script 

    that it'd be syntactically valid for p5 as well as p6.

    Upshot is that I'm generally not bothering with this, but you can if you 

    like.

}#}}}

TUTORIALS, DOCS, WEBSITES {#{{{

    http://doc.perl6.org/language.html

        This page is a list of links to different perl6 tutorials and docs 

        sites.  Looks pretty useful.

        The whole "doc.perl6.org" is pretty damn useful :)

    http://perl6intro.com/

        A nice-looking intro tutorial that I want to go through after 

        finishing going through the main docs.

        Not as thorough as a full-on tutorial, but a very good introduction, 

        well laid-out.  When you're trying to remember how to do something 

        simple that you just can't remember the syntax for and the full 

        tutorial is proving hard to search, this is a good resource.

    Mike Friedman

        http://friedo.com/blog/

        He has a lot of p6-related articles, many of them how-tos.  Good place 

        to start.

        I've covered all of his entries up to "Signatures, Part 2" (Feb 5).  

        His articles are good, check back here periodically to see if he's 

        posted new stuff.

        I reference this in some of my notes, but there's lots of other good 

        stuff in here:

            but it looks like it was last worked on 4 years ago, and there's 

            just not much here.

FAQ, Glossary ***CHECK*** {#{{{

    There's a FAQ section that I'm not going to repeat here, because it's 

    really not "tutorial-y", but it has lots of little FAQ-y bits of info that 

    I should go through.

        http://doc.perl6.org/language/faq

    Same deal with the Glossary section.  Lots of the words there are general 

    Perl* terms (eg DWIM, Damian Conway, etc), but there are some that are 

    p6-specific, so at least glance through.

INSTALL HISTORY {#{{{

    "perl6 -v" from different versions I've installed.

    

    - 01/07/2017

This is Rakudo version 2015.12-136-ga84d4ed built on MoarVM version 2015.12

implementing Perl 6.c.

        

        - I moved v6.b to ~/.rakudobrew_orig/ when I installed v6.c.

    

    - ~12/2015

This is rakudo version 2015.11-357-g587f700 built on MoarVM version 2015.11-34-gc3eea17 implementing Perl v6.b.

}#}}}

UNIMPLEMENTED *** {

    Jan 16

        This is Rakudo version 2016.01.1 built on MoarVM version 2016.01

    I'm starting to play with perl6 before the Xmas 2015 official production 

    release.

        This is rakudo version 2015.11-357-g587f700 built on MoarVM version 2015.11-34-gc3eea17 implementing Perl v6.b.

    I'm finding things that aren't doing what the docs tell me they should; 

    I'm going to just assume those things will be fixed eventually

    Ack for "NYI" for things that fit this bill.  Hopefully as new rakudo 

    versions come out, the number of NYI marks will decrease.

}

CHEC.K {

    

    I'm adding CHEC.K marks (without the period) for things that I want to 

    come back and look at again, but which don't satisfy NYI.

}
