Hi, First of all I don't wanna start a flame war, I'm just seeking knowledge. Thanks for your kind thoughts. I don't know much Ruby neither do I know much Perl (except for a few scripts). However, the new features outlined in Damian Conway's Exegesis 4 seem to be interesting additions to Perl 6. Could you please guys comment about the new stuff in E4 from a Ruby developer point of view ? Hey, even "I'm glad Perl finally catches up with Ruby on feature X...", or "I can't think of a reason you need feature Y, when in Ruby you can easily do..." comments would be fine for a newbie... :)) Thanks you very much, philip PS. The whole 'printable' E4 is at http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2002/04/01/exegesis4.html
