This book is a guide to Perl 6 language features, as well as an advanced teaching guide for Perl 5. It's the most up-to-date Perl book available. Examples are provided for both Perl 5 when using modules to back port Perl 6 features, and Perl 6 native examples. This book's pragmatic approach shows you how to bootstrap new features onto the code you write day-to-day.
