Add link to Perl 6 bindings

[azawawi]

This is a currently working implementation that works with PhantomJS via ghostdriver.

[lukeis]

Any particular reason you chose to make a new fork rather than contribute to the existing perl bindings? Fragmentation here is not a good thing for users.

Also it appears your bindings only work with phantomjs? (Or is it the only concrete driver and the rest use remote?)

[ddavison]

looks like his bindings are in the official perl 6 modules directory: http://modules.perl6.org/

[azawawi]

It is for Perl 6 which is coming to you this christmas 👍

@lukeis PhantomJS is the first working implementation. I am working on the rest as detailed in the project status

Thanks for your time.

[lukeis]

so you're saying Perl and 'Perl 6' are not related at all? There's no way a Perl 6 project could live side by side with a Perl project? It would make sense to point users to the same place and believe me, on an open source project you want as many people collaborating as possible (and it looks like the other perl project is fairly active)

[azawawi]

@lukeis Thanks for your valuable feedback. Yes, Perl 6 is the next generation Perl. Please take a look at http://perl6.org.

There is also Inline::Perl5 for using Perl 5 modules within Perl 6 but one needs to follow some build instructions for it to work properly.

Also I already wrote a Parse::Selenese module using Perl 6 Grammars in an effort to automatically convert test suites and test cases into Perl 6 code from the Selenium IDE.

I don't see a problem with this.. I've seen major languages deviate entirely like this before. (hence "major" version [very little, or no backwards compatibility)

Perl5:

my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new;
$driver->get('http://www.google.com');
print $driver->get_title . "\n"; # "Google"

Perl6:

my $driver = Selenium::WebDriver::PhantomJS;
$driver.url("http://google.com");
say "Title: "         ~ $driver.title;

The dialect is completely different.

@ddavison Thanks. I fixed the Perl 6 example to include the missing .new call. My bad 👍

Also now firefox (via the webdriver extension) and chrome (via the chromedriver) are now working.

[lukeis]

while I appreciate the nuances of a major version update. My point is more so that any effort should be in conjunction with the other already existing project, rather than spinning off a new project.

That being said, I'll merge this... begrudgingly :)

[azawawi]

Thanks 👍

@lukeis Perl6 is not the next iteration of Perl5, but a 'sister language' in the same family. Think of Perl5 vs Perl6 as C vs C++ or even C++ vs D.

[andreastt]

Unlike Python 3, Perl 6 is actually an entirely new language for all practical purposes.
