Don't really have time to write detailed report, as I need to wake up in ~4 hours for YAPC::Taipei, so just some quick links:

  • Chip releases Perl6::Subs that lets you use Perl 6 subroutine parameters in Perl 5.
  • iblech ported another 5 or so modules.
  • A very nice Perl 6 Modules Porting HOWTO was also written by iblech.
  • Stevan added a modules/README at my request.
  • gaal did tons of work on the test harness and reporter
  • I implemented s:perl5:g/// with $1 etc on the substitution side.
  • asavige reported that $*EXECUTABLE_NAME is broken; I fixed it along with $*PROGRAM_NAME.
  • metaperl hacked in lots of mathematic functions.
  • corion started doing tests for multiple -e and other pugs bugs.
  • iblech added tests for proxy objects and attributes. which brings us to...
  • mugwump and I designed and checked in the first sketch of class meta-model, marking the beginning of OO and introspection support in Pugs.

See you tomorrow!
