NAME
   Perl6::Doc - Perl 6 documentation

SYNOPSIS
   This distribution is documentation-only. It contains no code for you to
   run. Included are various Perl 5 Pod and Perl 6 Pod files describing the
   Perl 6 language. For a tool to read this documentation, see grok.

DESCRIPTION
   Currently included in this distribution:

 Design docs
  Apocalypses (outdated)
   Larry Wall started the Apocalypse (latin for revelation) series as a
   systematic way of answering the RFCs (Request For Comments) that started
   the design process for Perl 6. Each Apocalypse corresponds to a chapter
   in the book *Programming Perl, 3rd edition*, and addresses the features
   relating to that chapter in the book that are likely to change.

   Larry addresses each relevant RFC, and gives reasons why he accepted or
   rejected various pieces of it. But each Apocalypse also goes beyond a
   simple "yes" and "no" response to attack the roots of the problems
   identified in the RFCs.

   Note: These documents are outdated and and will not be updated to match
   the specification (see "Synopses").

  Exegeses (outdated)
   Damian Conway's Exegeses (latin for *explanation*) are extensions of
   each Apocalypse. Each Exegesis is built around a practical code example
   that applies and explains the new ideas.

   Note: These documents are outdated and and will not be updated to match
   the specification (see "Synopses").

  Synopses
   The Synopsis (latin for comparison) started as a fast to read diff
   between Perl 5 and 6. Because they are also easier to maintain, all
   changes of the language, that are evolving from the design process are
   written down here first. The Apocalypses and Exegeses are frozen as
   "historic documents".

   In other words, these docs may change slightly or radically. But the
   expectation is that they are "very close" to the final shape of Perl 6.

   The Synopsis documents are to be taken as the formal specification for
   Perl 6 implementations, while still being reference documentation for
   Perl 6, like *Programming Perl* is for Perl 5.

   Note that while these documents still being subjected to the rigours of
   cross-examination through implementation.

 Magazine articles
   These are Pod-ified versions of magazine articles about Perl 6 that have
   appeared in print during the design process. Take these with a grain of
   salt as they might not describe Perl 6 as it is now. They are mostly
   from <http://www.perl.com> and <http://www.perl-magazin.de/>.

 Perl 6 Table Index
   A Pod-ified version of
   <http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?perl_6_index_tablet> is
   included.

 Man pages
   Currently included are draft versions of perlintro and perlsyn.

HISTORY
   As of version 0.40, this distribution has been overhauled and is no
   longer maintained by Herbert Breunung, who originally took it over from
   ingy and audreyt.
