Don't think so, I followed the thread along a little, and it seems to
be correct. In addition, they seem to have the ¥ character as the Perl
6 equivalent of zip(). Those crazy guys. Actually this post cracked me

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/25953

Either the poster has posted a binary file, or the Perl 6 syntax is
crazier than anyone could have imagined! ;-)
