And I'll probably ask you to use another naming/extension, like pp5 (par for perl 5), so that modules for both versions don't get mixed up (since they'll be incompatible). Other than that, I believe developping it for Perl 5 is a very good idea, since it will let us see if we need another features, and make benchmarks with all proposed formats. And probably `p52p6' can be used to translate it to Perl 6 and include it in Perl 6 distribution, cutting much work (and time) when Perl 6 is ready. - BrandenThread Previous | Thread Next
