These are a few (very few) Perl5 example programs.  They are taken from
the perl5alpha6 distribution.  The files that end in ".t" are slightly
modified regression test files.  All of these files are only good as a
chance to see the new syntax in action.

  Quick        -  program intended to show off Perl5 features

  english.t    -  test of the new, non-cryptic magic variable names
  ref.t        -  workout of Perl5 references

  objtest      -  another quick syntactical overview
  multinherit  -  test of multiple inheritance

These files test the new facility for user-defined magic variables.  The
variables are magic in that the variable access methods are defined by
the user; e.g. you can define a scalar variable that prints it's value
on every store and prompts the user for input on every reference.

  tiearray     -  array magic variables
  tiedbm       -  hash magic variables; uses generalized dbm routines
  tiescalar    -  scalar magic variables
