While Perl 6 might not be officially "released" yet, in this hands-on class you will learn enough of the new language to feel sorry every time you need to code in any other language.
We will go through the basics very quickly and then look at all kinds of constructs that make life much easier than in Perl 5.
In particular we will learn about:
* Scalars
* Basic I/O
* Dealing with Files (I/O)
* Control Structures (loops, conditionals)
* Chained comparisons
* Lists and Arrays
* Hashes
* Subroutines, Multi dispatch subroutines, signatures
* Junctions
* Regexes, Grammars and Rules
* Classes
* Meta operators
