NAME
v6 - an experimental Perl 6 implementation (under way)
SYNOPSIS
Command line:
$ perl -Ilib lib/v6.pm -e ' for 1,2,3 -> $x { say $x }'Compile-only:
$ perl -Ilib lib/v6.pm --compile-only -e ' <hello>.say; 'Script or module:
# file: hello_world.pl
use v6-pugs;
"hello, world".say;
$ perl hello_world.plDESCRIPTION
The v6 module is a front-end to the experimental Perl6-to-Perl5 compiler.
The current state of this compiler implementation only provide a small sample of Perl 6 syntax and semantics.
Other Perl 6 implementations
The Pugs/Haskell Perl 6 is currently the most complete implementation. Pugs currently has some issues with Perl 5 interoperability.
Parrot Perl 6 is the best performing implementation by far. The Parrot implementation is currently at a comparable state as v6.pm.
Although running v6 requires the installation of a lot of Perl 5 modules, it is completely independent of Pugs or Parrot.
