Slap me around if I get too obnoxious.) Here here! Is there a place where PAWB's can sign up? I'm signed up for the -internals lists mainly as an educational experience. It should be fascinating to see how a system as complex as Perl 6 gets developed, even if I'm unable, through lack of skill, to directly contribute. My hope is that if I'm not able to contribute to Perl 6, then I should have learned enough to be able to contribute to Perl 6.1 (or Perl 7, whichever is next). >Apologies to David Grove: much longer winded this time.... > > -- >Bryan C.
