Hi all,
I would like to propose a challenge:
Before next Wednesday's meeting:
1. Choose a program from the Computer Language Benchmarks Game.
2. Download the Perl 5 implementation.
3. Write a Perl 6 version.
(3.5. Build a recent Rakudo.)
4. Run them and present your findings.
Optionally, first rewrite the Perl 5 version to be faster or more
idiomatic. Do it "more than one way" in Perl 5 and/or 6 for extra
bonus points.
We'll spend 15-20 minutes at the beginning of the meeting reviewing the
various entries. It might help if you mail your entries to the list
before the meeting starts.

Ready... Go!
