On the Perl Whirl Geekcruise, I got to see Allison's Perl 6 talk which means I got to see her run some Perl 6 code. For the basic stuff I saw it was still pretty exciting.
Who wants to write the first Perl 6 article for The Perl Review? I'm not looking for a grand survey of the field; I want a quick and easy "Start writing Perl 6 now" article.
Here's my concept of the article, although it doesn't have to go this way:
- Installing Pugs
- Hello World
- Introduction to Pugs History
- Nifty new Perl 6 operators you can use now
- Lots of little programs
- References to all the other places to look
I also tend to have these ideas too close to the deadline for articles :(
and then theres

All the Perl6::* modules on CPAN.
No, I'm not volunteering. Need more TUITs, round preferred, but octagonal would suffice.
need more tuits?

Aha. Boston.pm, I see. You should have said that you were short of tuits last week. I could have given Jesse some to give to you.
Not sure if you are still looking...

I'm not sure if I could be the type of Perl6 user you want for such an article, but I'd be interested in giving it a shot if you feel what I have to offer is a good match.
I've been using perl5 heavily since 1995 in various IT capacities so I am very familiar with the community. However I am just getting my feet wet with Perl6. Although I've been avidly reading the Perl6::Bible modules for quite a while I only just downloaded pugs and started playing with it for a few weeks. In a way that is good, since my troubles are probably the troubles of many others. However you might be looking for more of an expert. Please let me know.
