Sure, I can talk about something. I guess talking about rules would make
sense; they're probably the thing I'm most looking forward to. I'll try
to stick to how you use them instead of how they're implemented,
especially since I haven't seen any more of the new implementation than
anyone else. :-)
Anyone want to talk about Perl6's roles? I keep hearing about them, but
have never figured out exactly what they are nor how they behave. It'd
be cool if someone did an hour or three of research into them and
reported on them at the meeting. (Easy for me to suggest, since I'm not
volunteering!)
Or if anyone checked out any of the Perl6:: modules, I'd be interested
in hearing about your experiences.
