You may be referring to ...And Now for Something Completely Similar, by TheDamian.
So let’s calmly back away from all those snarling differences, and turn our attention instead to the many aspects of Perl 6 that are staying the same (or, at least, reassuringly very similar).
To do that, we’re going to make some of the Perl 6 design team “eat their own dog-food”. That is, we’ll take a few real-world Perl 5 programs that Nathan Torkington, Hugo van der Sanden, Dan Sugalski, Simon Cozens, and I use every day, port them to Perl 6, and see how much they actually change.
Damian showed us entar and untar as examples of how he customizes his enviroment. Very cool.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
