=head1 NAME
v6 - A Perl 6 implementation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# file: hello_world.pl
use v6-perlito;
"hello, World".say;
$ perl hello_world.pl
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<v6> module is a front-end to the "Perlito" Perl6 compiler.
Alternate backend modules can be installed. For example, the "Mildew" compiler can be used as:
use v6-mildew;
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
- The source file header must be valid perl5 I<and> perl6 code.
This is a valid header:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use v6-perlito;
* it executes perl5
* perl5 will call the C<v6.pm> module.
This is an invalid header:
#!/usr/bin/pugs
use v6;
* it tells perl5 to execute C</usr/bin/pugs>.
* it would tell perl5 that Perl v6.0.0 required.
