APM: Perl 6 grammar in Perl 6

[Ian Remmler]

Larry Wall has been working on a grammar for parsing Perl 6
which is itself written in Perl 6.  It's not nearly complete,
but I think it's of interest just to get an idea of what this
stuff will look like.  I personally think built-in grammars and
parsing will be a real "killer app" for Perl 6.  So yes, Perl 6
will basically be Lisp with fewer parentheses. :)

Get it at: http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/src/perl6/Perl-6.0.0-STD.pm

The latest pugs can supposedly parse the thing, though it isn't
working yet (Larry's parser, not pugs).  By the way, I went to
Patrick Michaud's talk, and he is pretty confident that there
will be a working Perl 6 compiler by this summer (or he will
fire himself!).
