2012.07.04 in #50 doc.perl6.org and p6doc
Moritz Lenz has announced the creation of the Perl 6 documentation project. His plan is to create both the documentation in POD format and generate HTML pages that will display all the docs. Something like perldoc for Perl 5 but in a way that resembles php.net. Since the announcement several people contributed to both the documentation and the scripts generating the web site.
2012.07.18 in #52 From Iterative to Functional Perl 6 Code
This is the first guest-post of Moritz Lenz on the Perl 6 Maven site. He writes a simple piece of code - looking for a file in a set of directories - and rewrites it several times. It both shortens the script and makes use of features available in Perl 6 but not in Perl 5.
