My overall first impression is that Perl 6 will be much better than for Perl 5 for building really large systems, so I'd like to see some examples in E12 illustrating how Perl 6 scales better.
So far, I like it a lot. The only thing that has caused me to pull a face is the whitespace-changing semantics in the Methods section where Larry commented:
Yes, this is different from Perl 5. And yes, I know certain people hate it. They can write their own grammar.
This scares me enough to always put parens around function calls (which I mostly do in Perl 5 anyway). So, if you can unscare me, that would be nice. :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
