Perl 6 Tidings from March 2009
Permanent link
In the past month we've seen a huge effort on the specs, mostly driven by Timothy "wayland" S. Nelson. He split the ever-growing S29 document into various API documents for built-in classes, all of them living in the S32 setting library.
The term "setting" is also new and requires an explanation. It's a term for the namespace in which built-in functions live. Other languages call that a "Prelude". Differently from a Prelude that scope is replaceable, meaning that it's easy to throw out all built-in functions and provide your own set, if that's what you want.
There was also a lively discussion about S16 (IO), and Daniel Ruoso and Timothy made some progress in the specs there. It seems our IO system will be heavily based on roles. Likewise there was some work on an S28 "special variables" draft.
Larry Wall also contributed lots of small and not-so-small cleanups.
- Private methods are now declared as
method !mymethod { ... }
(as opposed tomy method
previously - Result objects (that is objects produced by regexes that call
aren't automatically considered to be the scalar part of a match object. Instead they can now be accessed with the?
key, for example as$<?>
. - Lists in item context now
auto-promote to Captures, not Arrays anymore. That means that
when you write
my $a = (1, 2, 3)
is immutable;$a[2] = 4
is an array. Instead you need to saymy $a = [1, 2, 3];
(anyone speaks Perl 5 here? ;-). Captures were also re-factored to treat the invocant less special. - Some clarification on what happens when you have a sub and an enum value of the same name
- Enhancing an already defined class is
now done with
augment class Object
instead of the previousclass Object is also
. Likewisesupersede
replacesis instead
I'm sure I've missed some important pieces, but the past month brought so many changes it's hard to keep track of.
In February we witnessed the first release of Rakudo that's independent from Parrot. The releases are simply numbered (without any major/minor distinction) and have code names; the names are picked among cities with Perl 6 supportive perlmongers groups. This release was dedicated to Vienna.pm who sponsored much of Jonathan Worthington's Rakudo work.
Most notably Rakudo now ships with some built-in functions written in Perl 6, which makes it much more hackable if you love Perl 6, but have no clue about PIR.
Other interesting changes and fixes are support for the new
meta operator (which reverses the order of arguments to
the following operator) and a .perl
method on Match objects
(just for debugging purposes, it can't be eval'ed back into a Match object
Since the Topic of our beloved IRC channel #perl6 become too crowded with links to Perl 6 implementations, I set up the page http://perl6-projects.org/ which simply links to all of the most important Perl 6 projects, including compilers and documentation efforts. It is meant to be an entry page to link to if you don't want to collect dozens of links yourself.
Hinrik Örn Sigurðsson wrote on p6l that Google "Summer of Code" project where they pay students for work on open source projects, and hinted that he'd like to hack on Perl 6 stuff as a gsoc project. Jonathan Leto explained that he coordinates the TPF side of this year's project.

The other day we were driving in the car. I'm a really bad driver. Always irritated at other drivers. We were at a 4 way stop and nobody would go. I hate that nobody seems to remember or understand how right-of-way works. I waved to the person whose turn it was to go ahead. She just stared at me. I waved again. More staring. I flashed my lights. Nothing. So I sped away from the intersection grumbling nasty insults under my breath at the idiot in the other minivan. From the backseat came a little voice:
The little Beast: "Mom, who are you talking to?"
Me: "The lady in that car back there."
TLB, looking over his shoulder: "She can't hear you."Me, sheepishly: "Uh, you're right buddy. That's a good point."
TLB: "I know. I'm, like, a genius."Me: cracking up laughing...
I love this little man - he always says the most surprising things - one sentence thoughtfully profound and the next laugh-out-loud hilarious. Isn't he adorable?!

Love Forecast 2015
Stargazer Ram 2015 – Tune Up Your Year!
To customize the forecast for yourself install the Stargazer Ram 2015 for iPhone/iPad/iPod or Android that is based on the methods of traditional Astrology and enables you to be aware of the main events of the year. You just put the date of your birth and the forecast adapts to you personally, telling you about love, sex and finances, as well as political and economic situation. Version for Windows Phone will be available very soon! To be aware of the updates follow ArtUrania on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn!
The year 2015 will bestow vivid romances, memorable encounters and passionate sex, and will give some a truly precious gift – Mr. or Mrs. Right. Feelings will deepen, attachments will become more stable; there will be none of the crazy fits of passion of the previous year, but the seeds of love that fall on fertile soil will sprout. This year will gift you an unforgettable holiday together with the person you love most, seaside romances and even reasonable chances at rekindling former relationships; settled couples will unite their enthusiasm with common purpose, as well as the interests of their children. Those who sublimate their energy and creativity will also not regret it – the results may be outstanding! The year 2015 provides a multitude of opportunities, and it is important not to do something foolish, otherwise you will lose your way and your partner will turn into a stubborn ram, unwilling to forgive you. Spring, summer and the beginning of autumn are favourable for love, and it is likely that only the end of July and the beginning of August will bring difficulties. Autumn will be problematic and confusing, and it all begins with the eclipse at the end of September.
In January and February, with peaks on January 18-22, February 1-3 and 9-13, an unhealthy atmosphere will reign in love – a strong sensitivity creates confusion in your love life. Feelings and dreams are capable of carrying you far – however, a lack of prudence, like a failure to protect yourself, is dangerous! Love intrigues and secret contacts will flourish, though lovers may get found out through small details, a denunciation or surveillance. Those who are too timid to declare their love will dream and suffer in secret. Pisces will muddy the waters, but may suspect Virgos of infidelity and unfaithfulness, or may deceive them.
The end of February and the first half of March will be full of spring perkiness, bringing new acquaintances and changes in love, and somebody will be completely unexpectedly overcome by love at first sight. March is fiery and passionate, especially the first half of the month, and many men and women will behave like March cats. In the second half of March, Taureans will be especially attractive, and female Taureans will be able to eclipse male reason in the period around the eclipse of March 20! In late March and early April loose or casual love affairs are fraught with unpleasant consequences for Virgos and Gemini, and to a lesser degree for Pisces and Sagittarians.
The middle of April intensifies the sexuality of Taureans and Scorpios, and women will enjoy heightened interest, while men will be especially good as lovers. At the same time, the middle of April creates obstacles and difficulties in love. The second half of April is frivolous; there will be many new acquaintances, flirting, and dates. Around April 23-24, Gemini, Libras, Aquarians, Leos and Aries are especially sexually attractive – they are in the mood for having a good time and going out on dates. Gemini want sex more than usual and are not disposed to maintain their fidelity. The end of May, particularly the period from the 21st to the 26th, will bring a hitch and all kinds of surprises in relationships – but if trivial arguments, the failure of plans and the postponement of dates are discouraging, then a one-night stand may rouse Cancerians and Capricorns.
The burst of sexual activity can be expected around June 7-13, when the rush of arousal will be experienced by Gemini, though in the middle of June the behaviour of many is close to manically concerned! Virgos, Sagittarians and Pisces may become the subjects of sexual harassment or scandals. Some will find themselves in doubtful situations or facing a choice – to cheat or not to cheat. Here it is better to act in accordance with your spiritual principles; a sober reckoning in the spirit of "nobody will find out" is capable of rendering all the years or months of past fidelity in vain. At the same time, Leos, Aries and Libras may find that they can enjoy everything – and get away with it too.
The brightest and most promising time for love is the second half of June and the beginning of July, which raises the temperature of love to the maximum – even cold hearts will be all aglow! Those most favoured by fortune are Leos and Sagittarians; changes and new acquaintances await Aries, Gemini and Libras. To spur success, go away travelling or take up a new hobby! Now is a favourable time for marriage, especially June 20, June 25, June 30, July 3 after 13:00 (in the afternoon), and July 10. It is also a time for giving birth to children and a fertile period for creative activities. Even those who are left on the sidelines will follow the passions of celebrities or the romantic intrigues of their friends with interest. The middle of July and particularly the end of July and the beginning of August promise tests of feelings, obstacles and difficulties in love. In the middle of August former partners or even great loves from the past may announce themselves on your threshold. And returning from holiday, you will discover with surprised that somebody has been missing you or that your summer romance is continuing. In September you will still have time to relax – and fall in love! Leos and Aquarians can expect positive changes in their private lives, new interests, turbulent feelings and confessions of love.
The lunar eclipse of September 28 may have an influence on marriages and relationships, forcing people to take unpremeditated or hurried decisions close to the eclipse, in the worst case concerning separation or divorce; partners, especially if they are Aries or Libras, may not behave appropriately. There is an increased probability of deception, infidelity, and getting involved with amoral types who are already married. This is not the time either to get divorced or to get married. In general, the period from August 25 to mid-December is not suitable for weddings.
The second half of October and the beginning of November bestows a real, earthly love free of pretensions and illusion, in which partners move in together and begin to cohabitate, resolving household issues, while love itself moves to the work desk! This a time for active flirting at the workplace, for office, business and hospital romances – with teachers, colleagues, instructors, coaches and doctors. Sexual energy is particularly strong around October 19-26, which may lead to unexpected sex with a colleague or harassment at work. The chances are that anybody who persistently finds fault with you and floods you with urgent jobs also wants sex! November 3 is a day when things can go fabulously well in love and sex, whereas on November 8-9, on the contrary, your feelings will undergo a test of strength.
In October and early November the most active lovers are Virgos, who will be so overheated by passion that some may even lose their head. Those who devote themselves entirely to study, work or business can achieve staggering results! Such a working – and at the same time non-working – environment has the capacity to damage marital relations, provoking marital infidelities in those couples in which partners are susceptible to temptation. Beginning from October 9, and lasting until the end of 2015, many will actively take up the search for sex and a partner, seducing everyone they meet along the way – neither men nor women are inclined to be shy! Men, having got what they want, will quickly lose interest and continue their search. In the middle of November the temptation to break one's marital fidelity intensifies, and this especially concerns Libras and Aries. At this time women are extraordinarily enticing, but are perceived by men as being too salacious or readily available, while men will attract dishonorable or selfish partners. The time from November 8 to the beginning of December may cause altercations between lovers and temptations on the side for married couples. Now it is hard to find a faithful partner – potential lovers turn out to be married instead. You're better off exercising your passion in bed with your regular partner. At the end of November and in early December, Libras and Aries are capable of either attracting others, or turning into sexual 'maniacs' themselves!
The sexual atmosphere of December makes feelings difficult and a little tortuous. During the first days of December and between the 21st and the 23rd it is easy to fall victim to passions or seductions. In December the attractiveness of Scorpios and Taureans will become more pronounced. Interesting meetings and useful new acquaintances are likely on the eve of Christmas and the New Year. Scorpios and Virgos will be especially lucky!
