$ ./proto 

*** CONFIG FILE CREATED ***

Greetings. I have created a file 'config.proto' that you may want to review.
Next time you run './proto', these settings will be used to bootstrap your
system into a working Perl 6 installation.

If you're new to this, or if configure settings scare you, you probably want
the default settings anyway.

In October 2006, Damian Conway released an alpha draft of <a
href="http://perlcabal.org/syn/S26.html">S26</a>, the Perl 6 synopsis about
Pod documentation. It begins "Before Christmas, as promised!". It's large, but
even for an alpha, it's a good read.

The release of the draft spurred a whole lot of discussion on the
perl6-language mailing list. People seem to care a lot about these
things. Late November the same year, Damian posted a version of S26 without
the 'alpha' in its version number. He also promised to release a Pod-to-XHTML
module. (He eventually <a

I'd like to take this opportunity to announce Form[1], a Perl 6 project
by Matthew Walton. It's a port to Perl 6 of Damian Conway's
Perl6::Form[2], and is meant to replace the C<format> built-in in
Perl 5.[3][4]

Form is still in its early stages, but is already showing great promise.
Consider downloading it and trying it out, or even contributing.

$ cat things-I-know-about-Buf 
A C<Buf> is a stringish view of an array of
integers, and has no Unicode or character properties without explicit
conversion to some kind of C<Str>.  (A C<buf> is the native counterpart.)
Typically it's an array of bytes serving as a buffer.  Bitwise
operations on a C<Buf> treat the entire buffer as a single large
integer.  Bitwise operations on a C<Str> generally fail unless the
C<Str> in question can provide an abstract C<Buf> interface somehow.
Coercion to C<Buf> should generally invalidate the C<Str> interface.
As a generic type C<Buf> may be instantiated as (or bound to) any
