Christmas arrived, and Perl 6 has had its first public release.
Unsurprisingly there are a lot of Perl 6 things in this week's
issue.
Plenty of Perl 5 too, which is probably going to be the pattern from now
on.
This is the last issue of 2015, so from all of the editors:
best wishes for 2016.

Perl6 and CPAN
https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/perl6-and-cpan/
There's no official plan for a CPAN equivalent for Perl 6, but that's
mainly because there are no official plans for pretty much anything in
the Perl universe :-) Justin has been exploring whether PAUSE and
MetaCPAN can provide Perl 6 support on CPAN.

Discussion of metrics for indicating how appropriate CPAN distributions are
for your CPAN distribution to depend on. I plan to use this as one of the
