NAME

Perl6ish - Some Perl6 programming in Perl5 code.

SYNOPSIS

  use Perl6ish;

DESCRIPTION

Perl6ish allows you to write Perl5 code some Perl6 look-n-feel. It uses many good evil techniques to extend Perl5 syntax. Many of which has been already done in the Perl6::* namespace, some of them are coded only in the Perl6ish distrition.

When you say use Perl6ish in your code, it's exactualy the same as saying this:

    use Perl6::Perl 'perl';
    use Perl6::Slurp;
    use Perl6::Caller;
    use Perl6::Take;
    use Perl6::Say;
    use Perl6::Contexts;
    use Perl6::Junction qw/all any one none/;
    use Perl6ish::Syntax::temp;
    use Perl6ish::Syntax::state;
    use Perl6ish::Syntax::constant;
    use Perl6ish::Array;
    use Perl6ish::Hash;
    use Perl6ish::String;
    use Perl6ish::Syntax::DotMethod;

Perl6ish::Syntax::* modules are syntax extensions. Variable declarators, temp, state and constant, are implemented under this namespace. They can be used alone if you prefer not to load all those moduels above all at once.
