I'll demo the latest rakudo and show some actual functional code<br>
some people have written in Perl 6. It shouldn't take too
long,<br>

share, feel free to bring a laptop, or just stand up and blab<br>

Did you install rakudo on Windows or Linux? I was able to get
'most' of rakudo built, but using the Strawberry Perl 5.10 release to
allow compiles as it has its own complete build environment. But...
a few rakudo build problems and much poking of makefiles. Classic
was that since cygwin *nix tools were (originally) in the path, the build
thought it could use Bash but then also '\' path separators because it
was Windows.<br><br>
Actually I've been peering under the lid of the rakudo compiling setup,
and at one group's poke at implementing Javascript. So far my only
exposure to real Perl 6 is looking at the regex stuff in the
parser's.<br><br>
I'll be there. Perl 6 for me so far is sorta like how I recognize
spoken Korean - it sounds _just_ like Japanese but it's not Japanese - I
know it solely by what it is not?<br><br>

Does anyone happen to have a projector that we could borrow for<br>
the evening? If not, everyone will just have to look at my<br>
laptop screen with a really big xterm font.<br>
