Perl 6 Basics Tablet: Revision 9 1st law of language redesign:
Everyone wants the colon for their particular syntax. Basics
doesn't mean here easy but fundamental. Which mostly translates
to how to format and reformat data (numbers, strings and more).
Please note that any Perl 6 source code is treated as unicode by
default. Also use strict; and use warnings; are enabled
implicitly. Unless you use blocks, a Perl program executes one
statement after another in linear progression. They have to be
separated by a semicolon (;), except before and after a closing
curly brace, where it is optional. Spaces and Indentation Perl
doesn't care about indentation. And spaces are still in many
places without meaning. However these have become fewer. Like in
Perl 5 and many other languages of its league a "#" tells the
compiler to ignore the rest of the line. Konverting into
numerical context means still: take from left to right all
digits and other characters, up to the first char that clearly
don't belong to a number defini
