Perl 6: Apocalypse 6 Released
data64 writes "The latest Apocalypse talks about subroutines. Looks like we finally get type signatures which are way more powerful than the rudimentary prototypes available with Perl5."

I love the smell of sub routines in the morning
If you get an error, type "OVERRIDE" or "SECURITY OVERRIDE" and then try the optimize command again.
Other languages have subroutines too, you know, like BASIC? LCARS in Visual Basic, now _THAT_ is a scary thought. I'd rather debug it in C or in perl.
Then as time so pass, more and more "features" are added into perl 5.004 and the result is that now you have too many features spoils the broth.
I'm sorry. I think you are looking for this every-feature-is-in-the-core language.
Glad to point you in the right direction!

here's a better:
/dev/urandom`}
while (1) {fork ? `cat
my %pet is Hash of Array of Array of Hash of Array of Cat;
which might really mean:
my %pet is Hash(keytype => Str,
returns => Array(
returns => Array(
returns => Hash(
keytype => Str,
returns => Array(
returns => Cat)))))
or some such.
Larry's losing it. He's going to snap at any moment. Nobody can keep this up for long. If you're near him, grab a raincoat, he's going to explode at any second.
Seriously though, Larry, you're a genius.
Do not read the paragraph below:
This comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted. So I did, by adding this paragraph, hoping to throw it off.
# Erik
Just write a perl script to modify all your current perl scripts to use /usr/bin/perl5
I am so looking forward to Microsoft BrainFuck.
It's called Visual Basic ;)
