I'll do my damndest to be there, and Michael, I'd like to draw your
attention to my _Perl 6 Now: The Core Ideas Illustrated with Perl 5_ /
http://perl6now.com if I may. It's basically a book *about* the Perl6::
modules, and other Perl 5 modules whose functionality becomes core in
Perl 6, such as PDL, typesafety.pm, Quantum::Supposition, etc. I wrote
my Perl6::Contexts while working on this sucker.
