NAME

Perl6::Pugs - A Perl 6 Implementation

VERSION

This document describes version 6.2.8 of Pugs, released July 13, 2005.

SYNOPSIS

    % pugs -e "{ 'Hello, ', @^x }.('World!').say"
    Hello, World!

DESCRIPTION

Pugs is an implementation of Perl 6, written in Haskell. It aims to support the full Perl 6 specification, as detailed in the Synopses.

The Pugs project was started on February 1st 2005. It is under active development on IRC (irc.freenode.net, #perl6).

Please read the Pugs Apocrypha in the docs/ directory for more details.

DOCUMENTATION

Pugs Apocrypha

The Pugs Apocrypha in the docs/ directory are a series of documents, written in question/answer format, to explain the design and implementation of Pugs.

Quick reference of Perl 6

Quick reference documents of Perl 6 can be found in the docs/quickref/ directory, similar to perlcheat. The table of contents can be found at docs/quickref/README.

Talks

There're various talks about Perl 6 and/or Pugs at docs/talks/. Please refer see docs/talks/README.

Examples

In the examples/ directory there're examples of working Perl 6 code. In examples/cookbook/ you can find the Perl 6 version of the Perl 5 cookbook. If you want to see how Perl 6 modules look like, you can have a look at the modules in ext/. Another good source of working Perl 6 code is the comprehensive test suite in the t/ directory.

Apocalypses, Exegeses, and Synopses (AES)

Additionally to the official AES, Pugs hosts a number of unofficial AES at docs/AES/. You might also want to checkout the Perl 6 module Perl6::Bible, hosted at FreePAN (http://tpe.freepan.org/repos/iblech/Perl6-Bible/), if you want to read the AES by using the p6bible command line utility.
