Re^4: Reversed .= operator

Take a look at Perl 6 without prejudice, I'm sure you'll love it.

Do you use it for $work? If so, what type of work?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

No, BrowserUk, that's a good question and I can easily confess that I am not using Perl 6 at $work, but only Perl 5 (plus more than half a dozen other languages, but primarily Perl 5). Perl 5.10, for that matter, so something quite old, but it seems impossible to have something newer on the old production servers used here. Except on one single occasion early this year where I wrote the prototype (or proof of concept) of a program code conversion utility from a subset of a proprietary programming language into a subset of Java, and I wrote a Perl 6 grammar of that language subset for that. But this was just a three-week project and I did not need a large production server for that, running the prototype on a PC to convert three or four programs was sufficient for our purpose. But Perl 6 came out only a few months ago, it needs some time to gain some momentum. I have been using it on both Linux and Windows platforms, it's good start. I am not using it at work, but there is not only work in life and I am using it for fun at this point. And it is great fun. I should add that I have met at the French Perl Workshop of last year people using it for their work (even though Perl 6 was not production ready then). But I am unfortunately unable to give details about what kind of work these people are doing with it.	[reply]
