NAME

6       v6 - A Perl 6 implementation
7

SYNOPSIS

9           # file: hello_world.pl
10           use v6-perlito;
11           "hello, World".say;
12
13           $ perl hello_world.pl
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The "v6" module is a front-end to the "Perlito" Perl6 compiler.
17
18       Alternate backend modules can be installed. For example, the "Mildew"
19       compiler can be used as:
20
21         use v6-mildew;
22

REQUIREMENTS

24       - The source file header must be valid perl5 and perl6 code.
25
26       This is a valid header:
27
28           #!/usr/bin/perl
29           use v6-perlito;
30
31       * it executes perl5
32
33       * perl5 will call the "v6.pm" module.
34
35       This is an invalid header:
36
37           #!/usr/bin/pugs
38           use v6;
39
40       * it tells perl5 to execute "/usr/bin/pugs".
41
42       * it would tell perl5 that Perl v6.0.0 required.
