I was sitting here, forcing myself to keep out of the new thread on Perl and Functional Programming until I had had a nap and let the inspiration of my subconscious spring forth, when it struck me that a lot of the advice on dereferencing and typeglobs and special globals is going to be out of date and actually misleading to someone running Perl 6.

This is another instance of the issue of creating a version of a website. Here is the last time I asked this same question: Changing website prices based on client? (keywd: Web Software Engr)

So how are we going to create Perl 5 and Perl 6 versions of this site ?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
