=head1 Overview This synopsis summarizes the non-existent Apocalypse 9, which discussed in detail the design of Perl 6 data structures. It was primarily a discussion of how the existing features of ...

ok, cool, I'm beginning to understand perl6 patterns a bit better. Just a tiny request though (and I seem to remember this being discussed) - I wish that there was an easy syntax to turn regexes ...

Speaking of subs, and especially recursive ones which have been mentioned en passant earlier, I have another question "of mine": I know that in the vast majority of cases this won't be useful in any ...

I was thinking about removing files this morning, and realized that I wish rm supported inclusion/exclusion. In particular, I wanted to remove "* but not Makefile" (since my Makefile uses ...

The new range quantifier syntax has been bothering me. For reference, here's the bit of S5 that talks about it: Now for the bothersome parts and some questions and some suggestions in no particular ...

NB: The links are probably broken at present. Normal service will hopefully be resumed once Google gets caught up with the perl6 lists. The Perl 6 Summary for the week ending 2004-08-27 Where does ...

Dear all, I've recently thought of a possible syntax extension for (Perl5's) [un]pack() and I posted my "RFC" to clpmisc where it didn't have much success, I must say. However I'm not interested in ...

In perl 6, the statement @foo = (1.. 5) ; is equivalent to @foo = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5); Is there similar shorthand to set @foo = (5, 3, 3, 2, 1) ? I know you can go @foo = reverse (1 ..5); but this has ...

I hope not to raise too much the noise/signal level on list, but I have a question: I have had a long experience programming my HP28s pocket calculator, and its RPN language that AFAIK is mostly the ...

How do you declare attribute functions? Specifically, I was thinking about map and what kind of object it would return, and I stumbled on a confusing point: class mapper does iterator { has ...

I've read S5, and hopefully I've understood the new $<digit -mechanism, that BTW seems very good to me. Only I have a suggestion that I hope not to be too awkward. Why isn't matched text aliesed to ...

I fear, and with good reasons, that this may be too wild a case of an extremization, but I wonder wether, just like for example strings are implemented by means of special (quote-like) operators, ...

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'd get $str = "abracadabra"; bracadabr cadabr dabr br (so far identical), but then I'd also expect bracad cad d brac c br which gets me to the question, if there'll be some ...

I know that, you know that ... but the synopses never actually say it. It's evident from context, but it's never said explicitly. I would *think* that should be in the "Operator renaming" section of ...

I came across this slight annoyance working in Perl 5 today: sub preserve(&) {...} sub foo { preserve { $_[0]- bar; } } That didn't call "bar" on the invocant of "foo", but rather on "undef", because ...

Like this? (Assuming single quotes don't interpolate @foo[...]) @a = ('a', 'b', 'c'); '@a[0]' ~~ m:/ @a /; # true '@a[2]' ~~ m:/ @a /; # true '@a[9]' ~~ m:/ @a /; # false If so, that seems pretty ...

for, while, given, loop, etcetera can all be used without parens. Are the parens around the parameter specification still required? If so, why? In other languages it may make sense because parens are ...

A mildly interesting thought would be for C<eval to take additional parameters to make explicit what's visible to the eval'd code--essentially making the running of the code like a subroutine call. ...

Pardon if this has already come up. I only found one prior reference in my search. There's a section in S5 about "Matching against non-strings", but it really only addresses matching against strings ...
