Where Can I Find Demo/Sample Code For Perl 6?

Question

I've got myself a copy of Rakudo and I'd love to give it a test drive. After looking around the Internet I found some code snippets of cool Perl 6 stuff, but no complete scripts. Any sites that make practical Perl 6 scripts available would be appreciated.

Thanks guys, Ehtyar.

Answer 1

Please check out the perl6-examples repository from http://github.com/perl6/perl6-examples/tree/master, it contains many nice examples.

Also don't hesitate to join #perl6 or irc.freenode.net if you have any questions (or [email protected] if you're more the email user).

Sometimes there are also very nice examples on the Perl 6 blogs out there, most of them are collected on http://pl6anet.org.

See also Perl 6 examples on Rosetta Code.

Answer 2

This page at the Perl foundation covers new features very well. Specifically "The Long Perl 6 Super-Feature List" (Which isn't actually very long, it explains what new features will be coming in bullet points). If you are specifically looking for new features only, that is the place to look as opposed to sifting through mounds of sample code and dissecting new features.

There are some good smaller examples on this page that will demonstrate new features without an elaborate amount of code.
