Last Thursday, I had a couple of commitments that prevented me from going to the NY Perl Mongers tech meeting that evening. This was particularly unfortunate, as David Farrell gave a talk on parsing Perl 5 POD with Perl 6 grammars.
Fortunately, I happened to see David on Friday, and mentioned that I was sorry to have missed his talk. He was nice enough to not only send me a copy of his slides, but to send me links to some articles he's written for his Perl Tricks site (http://perltricks.com) and his github repositories for his Perl 5 POD parser and his Perl 6 One-Liners book. So, as most of this is publicly available, I figured I'd share.
Perl 5 Pod: https://github.com/dnmfarrell/Pod-Perl5
Perl 6 One-Liners: https://github.com/dnmfarrell/Perl6-One-Liners
Perl Tricks articles:
http://perltricks.com/article/136/2014/11/20/Get-started-with-Perl-6-one-liners
http://perltricks.com/article/144/2015/1/13/How-to-create-a-grammar-in-Perl-6
http://perltricks.com/article/170/2015/4/30/Parsing-Perl-5-pod-with-Perl-6
I'm planning on digging into the grammar features of Perl 6 in the near future, so this should all be helpful.
Thanks David!
