[Fleet-pm] Meeting tomorrow

[James Raspass]

Tomorrow evening is another social meeting for Fleet PM in the station.

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
