Perl 6 Essentials is a sneak-preview of Perl 6, the widely-anticipated rewrite of the Perl

programming language. Still in development, the Perl 6 project is a community-based effort to

keep Perl vibrant well into the 21st century. This book covers the development not only of Perl

6 syntax but also Parrot, the language-independent interpreter developed as part of the Perl 6

design strategy.

Although Perl remains a vibrant language with a fiercely loyal following, it has undergone many

changes to keep up with new technologies and applications that were not anticipated when Perl

was first introduced in 1987. Through its community-based development model, Perl has kept up

with changing times and remained fresh when other languages might have stagnated.

Internally, however, there have remained kinks and stumbling blocks that developers have needed

to sidestep, long-abandoned features that have been maintained only for backwards

compatibility, misdirected phrasings that have hindered more intuitive syntax structures, and a

cacophony of modules that sometimes work well together, but occasionally don't. Perl continues

to have a strong following devoted to its development, but in the meantime, a group of core

Perl developers have begun working on Perl 6, a complete rewrite of the Perl language. While

Perl's creative philosophy and common-sense syntax are sure to remain in Perl 6, everything

else in the language is being re-examined and recreated.

Perl 6 Essentials provides an overview of the current state of Perl 6 for those who await its

release. Written by members of the Perl 6 core development team, the book offers an explanation

of the various stages of the project, with reference material for programmers who are

interested in what changes are planned or who may want to contribute to the project. The book

will satisfy their curiosity and show how changes in the language will make it more powerful

and easier to use.

Perl 6 Essentials is the first book that offers a peek into the next major version of the Perl

language. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of Perl.
