Perl6 wasn't _released_ until 2016, though.

  You mean, 1.0 of the spec was released then. Don't pretend it wasn't perfectly possible to write and run useful Perl6 programs for a good ten years prior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pugs_(programming) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pugs_(programming) https://github.com/viklund/november/ https://github.com/viklund/november/

    For some definition of 'perl6'. I have a perl6 book from o'reilly from 2006, and I flipped through it recently. It bears almost no resemblance to modern perl6. There were a couple of things that were still the same (and not just vestiges from perl5 like sigils and function calls looking like function calls), but by and large it was something completely different.

  You mean 2015. Specifically December 25th 2015.
