Re: Nth position of array determind by <>

in reply to Nth position of array determind by <>

It's nice to see the hegemony of US neo-imperialism being challenged by the use of the pound sterling sign (£scalar) instead of the dollar sign ($scalar).

Personally, though, I'd prefer the euro sign (€scalar).

To be really wildly creative, you might also use a hammer and a sickle for your sigils. By the way, in Perl 6, it would take just a couple of code lines to add the pound sign or the euro sign to the list of sigils understood by the Perl 6 grammar and to run a program understanding the `£scalar` or `€scalar` variable (see e.g. https://perlgeek.de/en/article/mutable-grammar-for-perl-6)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I mediated once - approx 5000 posts ago - about introducing sigils like `¤£¥€` into perl 5 (for typed references, ie `¥hash` etc ) but it wasn't really practical ... not only are they not part of 7 bit ascii (ie not included in many encodings) but also not available or hard to type on many keyboards around the world.

How does Larry feel about this? P5P? ;-). And if we're talking hegemony, how about some Asian currency symbols as sigils? Spirit of the Monastery	[reply] [d/l]
