Followup

After the meeting Andrew followed up as below::

Spork was lovely because I could write the slides in the stunningly simple and concise kwiki markup language. Links to Spork (and some related modules):

Ingy has boldly proposed that the evolution of POD in Perl 6 be called kwid (I guess that word is a combination of pod and kwiki), a draft spec of which can be found at:

http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs/docs/S26draft.pod

He is also the driving force behind the new FreePAN:

I don't intend to publish the slides since they were just bullet points taken from this article:

Some things I said were cool:

The Test::Harness 'prove' command. This command comes standard with recent versions of Test::Harness (bundled in perl 5.8). http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Harness/bin/prove I find it very handy as a development tool.
