* Lots of grammar and typo fixes
* Added relationship between Perl 6 and Perl 5 to preface
* avoid mojibake where possble
* Basics chapter
    - created this chapter
    - fleshed out some examples
    - added some exercises
* Regex chapter
    - added some text on subsitution and look-arounds
    - added explanation of Match objects
    - added character classes
* Grammar chapter
    - added explanation of inheritance in Perl 6 grammars
    - added explanation of grammar action methods
* Objects chapter
    - added some exercises with answers

There have also been some changes to the support scripts and text for 
the book.  These include:

* added some sample scripts to be worked into various chapters
