Lance has started to learn Perl6 and thanks to him writing scientist in both 5 & 6 we can actually compare how simpler some stuff in Perl 6 is. For example is_deeply from perl 5 is a builtin called eqv, which for the inverse can be written as $foo !eqv $bar. See https://github.com/JRaspass/ScientistP6/blob/master/lib/Scientist.pm Back in perl 5 land, today I was bitten by indirect object syntax with a block allowing code that called List::Util's any (but not import it) to compile but error at runtime, see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2016/03/msg234833.html for more info on this historic wart. Anyways, hope to see you there, invite anyone you can! James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
