    ... so unlikely to be able to be whored for karma in it's entirety without a lot of work :o)

    Perl6 is looking amazing, though. It's looking a lot less crufty than perl5 in a number of ways, and actually looks a very modern language now. Plus, it's still Perl. Woo!

    So long as we get a foreach() mechanism with in-built index into the array it's looping over, I'll be happy. That's my biggest problem at the moment..
