[perl6] Lists are not Arrays. Make this clear
Lists are immutable while Arrays are mutable. Arrays are
which have the @ sigil.

46a02d6ee2 [perl6] Explain orelse operator, add more information about exceptions, add an Iterables section... (#2505)
* More clear names for the module and variables demonstrating declarators (our) for sub's and a few more details in comments

* $! is only set when we use "try" not when we disarm an exception with or/orelse thanks to ZoffixZnet for the information here provided here: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129923

* Fix the example from the last commit. Some changes in the try/catch paragraph

* Change it so the vim modeline doesn't show up in the final html file(not even as a comment)

* Minor grammar fix

* Add more information about the .exception method and explain how orelse differs from the or operator

* Add link to the Perl6 docs and explain that while the Perl 6 advent calander is a great reference it may be a little older (Posts stopped in Dec of 2015).  Also make the columns fit better to 80 characters

* Fix in issue with a few of the regex examples, where Perl 6 would warn because the spacing was ambiguous. Explain how you must use two spaces between strings so spacing isn't ambiguous or use the :s adverb to make whitespace meaningful explicitly.  Also explain 'm' and using delimiters other than / /

* Improve the readability of the phasers introduction

* Fix the remaining regex that will warn because of ambiguous spacing

* Add an example for ‘quietly’ since it has been implemented now

* Update link for precedence order to point to current documentation

* Add a section on iterables and show examples for using the lazy method

* Some corrections

* Change downloaded filename to .p6 instead of .pl

* Show vertical line for 80 column width in vim modeline

* Update the exceptions section to vendethiel's suggestions

e336c909b9 Perl 6: Make information about Hash tables correct. Rewrite the example for dynamically scoped variables.. (#2475)
* Explain that you cannot pass immutable values like integers to subs even if you use $n is rw.

* Add myself as a contributor

* Remove contributor since I am not a major contributor

* Add many more smartmatch examples. Make the ternary operatory clearer and add a code example for it. Make the section for && and || have a working code example and show the output it gives

* Fix assigning $a $b and $c values in the && operator section

* Rename a few things so they don't conflict with variables in other parts of the code

* Remove extra dashes

* Move description of smartmatch type checks toward the end of that section

* Better names for scoping examples

* Redo the example for dynamically scoped variables so the example is better and functions properly when ran (old example did not work properly when running it by itself)

* Rename these classes so they aren't named the same as the ones above

* Add information about the different twigils in Perl 6. This makes understanding what $. $! and $* are and how they relate. Also complete the renaming in the previous commit

* Fix capitalization and indenting here

* Using the word interpolate to mean accessing an element of an array is not the proper terminology. Using the word interpolate is usually associated with things such as this: say "@names = { @names.perl }"

* Make the wording a little clearer for arrays

* Remove incorrect information about hashes.  Hashes are not arrays of pairs although Perl 6 makes it easy to use them as such

* Make the subroutine text read better

* Clean up the Object Model introduction section

* Fix the section on interpolating all elements of an array

* Use the word attribute instead of field since this is the wording that the perl 6 documentation uses for these objects

* Fix column width in a few places

* More clearly mark which twigils are used for "normal" variables and which ones are used on "objects". This makes the flow from the # Scoping => # Twigil => # Object Model section smoother

* Semi-rewrite the example for object inheritance and use more natural names.  Also rename class A to class Attrib-Class

* Clean up the scoping introduction a little

* Remove a leftover line from rewriting the inheritance example

* More gradually introduce exceptions and fix a typo, as well as adding a few examples

* Reorder introduction of packages to be more natural. Show how to "use" a package before we show how to create and declare our own modules

* Avoid using the word 'use' because we're not refering to the perl keyword 'use'

5556d6e839 changed code output to as stated in comments
The comments state that Foo::Bar::inc in the package variable example should increase $Foo::Bar::n and then print it.
This did not happen, as `say ++$n;` was placed outside the block of the sub Foo::Bar::inc.
The commit puts `say ++$n;` inside the block of Foo::Bar::inc.
