The list I gave above was my subjective, somewhat hasty traversal of projects.list, filtering on what I consider significant (meaning that people use it today or it holds some promise). Here's the same list, with a one-sentence (also subjective) description of each project: SVG::Plot Draw bar charts, line charts and pie charts in SVG. proto Install Perl 6 projects, painlessly. Gamebase Create games with animated 2D sprites. CSV Read .csv files. Druid Play a connection game which grows upwards. Form Format text nicely à la Exigesis 7. HTTP::Daemon Make a web server. Perl6::SQLite Interact with an SQLite database. Web.pm Create web applications with powerful tools. It's entirely possible that I've forgotten some important module above, so don't hesitate to pipe up if one comes to mind. // CarlThread Previous | Thread Next
