Thanks for the link but nowhere in it does it state tha Perl 6 names are 
case sensitive.  The best the do is this, which implies it is but 
doesn't state it.

"Other all-caps names are semi-reserved. We may add more of them in the 
future, so you can protect yourself from future collisions by using 
mixed case on your top-level packages. (We promise not to break any 
existing top-level CPAN package, of course. Except maybe ACME, and then 
only for coyotes.)"

So, I'll ask again:  Where in the official documentation does it state 
that Perl 6 names are case sensitive?

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
