E51-376 [image: learningperl6.png] "6 More Things about 6" will cover a
combination of features, ideas, and concepts that I find interesting about
the new language. I'll also answer question about the upcoming "Learning
Perl 6" book, the Kickstarter campaign for it, and other things you may
want to ask.
