Perl 6 - Module System

Module System

The Perl 6 specification requests that modules are identified by name, version and authority. It is possible to load only a specific version of a module, or even two modules of the same name that differ in version or authority. As a convenience, aliasing to a short name is provided.

CPAN, the Perl 5 module distribution system, does not yet handle Perl 6 modules. Instead a prototype module system is in use.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    “The individual protests against the world, but he doesn’t get beyond protest, he is just a single protester. When he wants to be more than that, he has to counter power with power, he has to oppose the system with another system.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
