This used to be my attempt at improving the Perl 6 highlighter over the builtin one for Atom. I have since lost almost all of my time for programming. Thankfully the Perl 6 community has taken it upon themselves to continue where I left off and make it an official project. Please use the official atom-language-perl6 highlighter going forward and not my own as this package is not maintained.
Derived from the builtin language-perl package but with many bugfixes and additions. You might ask why I didn't just add a PR there but I feel that this package adds quite a bit more that it might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, I do plan on adding support for autocomplete+, linter, atom-build, and atom-runner. Maybe even integrating a perl6 REPL would be fun!

Please be aware that if you do not include the

files will be highlighted with thelanguage-perl
highlighter (using either P5 or P6 grammar depending on if you have theuse v6;
pragma).
Perl 6 is optimized for fun -Audrey Tang
This package was developed to work with Fira Code ligatures
More syntax highlighted (numbers, operators, interpolation, traits, better strings)
This package will also soon contain support for many popular atom packages that have service hooks like autocomplete+ and linter
I'd like to add a builtin REPL eventually
Here's a few more examples:
