I have to work with a legacy Perl codebase most weeks and I&#x27;ve been ignoring Perl 6 because upgrading our interpreter version is difficult for a bunch of reasons to boring to go into.<p>I&#x27;d been naively holding out a hope that Perl 6 would improve things so I clicked on the Perl 6 for Perl 5 programmers link from perl6.org.<p>They added code block interpolation to strings:<p><pre><code>  #!&#x2F;usr&#x2F;bin&#x2F;env perl6
  my $number = 3;
  say( &quot;{ $number * 4 }&quot; ); # prints 12</code></pre>
