Exegesis 7 Released (Perl 6 Text Formatting)

Posted by michael on from the folding-spindling-mutilating dept.

chromatic writes "Perl.com has just published Exegesis 7, Damian Conway's explanation of how text formatting will work Perl 6 (and now, Perl 5, thanks to his Perl6::Form module) will work. Think of it as Perl 1 for the 21st century. Also, Parrot 0.1.0, the virtual machine for Perl 6 and several other dynamic languages, released on Leap Day -- ever wanted to program in an object oriented assembly language?"

    Dude, read the fucking Camel Book and get the dick out of your mouth. Do you want the fucking man pages in Augmented Backus-Naur Form?

    Programming Perl does a very good job at describing not only the practical uses of Perl's operators and functions, but also the magic "DWIM" processes which seem to confuse you so much. And if you can't be bothered to find the answer in there, you can always write a code snippet which illustrates your question, and let the Perl interpreter give you the answer.

    In short: RTFM, FOAD. With any luck you will get hit by a car and rid the earth of your pestilence. Go get fucked.
