Perl 6 Fundamentals: A Primer with Examples, Projects, and Case Studies
Gain the skills to begin developing Perl 6 applications from the ground up in this hands-on compact book, which includes a foreword from Larry Wall, creator of Perl. Youâ€™ll learn enough to get started building with Perl 6, using Perl 6â€™s gradual typing, handy object orientation features, powerful parsing capabilities, and human-usable concurrency. After a short introduction, each chapter develops a small example project, explaining the Perl 6 features used. When the example is done, youâ€™ll explore another aspect, such as optimizing further for readability or testing the code.Â

Along the way youâ€™ll see Perl 6 basics, such as variables and scoping; subroutines; classes and objects; regexes; and code testing. When youâ€™ve mastered the basics, Perl 6 Fundamentals moves onto more advanced topics to give you a deeper understanding of the language. Youâ€™ll learn, amongst other things, how to work with persistent storage, how to generate good error messages, and how to write tricky applications such as a file and directory usage graph and a Unicode search tool.
