Hello there! tonight I woke up to see the full-moon disappear, but I have never seen it return. The outline of its existence disappeared in the morning lights and the smog above the city. I hope those living to the west from me have seen it reappearing. While I was waiting for the moon to do its trick, I downloaded and compiled the newest version of Rakudo Perl 6 and fixed the code running the Perl 6 Maven site so I can switch to the latest Rakudo. Christmas is coming! In the meantime, enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Perl 6
|
by David Farrell (DFARRELL) By default vim, as most of the other editors, recognize the type of a file based on their extension. Because the in many cases the file extension of Perl 5 and Perl 6 files are the same, vim keeps trying to use the Perl 5 syntax highlighter on Perl 6 files, and fails. David has a couple of suggestions, including looking at the content of the file, to recognize that it is a Perl 6 file. He also provides the vim script for this. |
