Some differences from the Perl 5 version include use of formal parameters; use of » as a "hyper" operator, that is, a parallelizable implicit loop; and use of normal lambda-like notation to bind loop parameters, so we can have multiple loop parameters bound on each iteration. Also, since => is now a real pair composer rather than a synonym for comma, the data can be represented with real pair notation that points to quoted word lists delimited by angle brackets rather than [qw(...)].
