Re: (FoxUni) Re(3): Breaking output lines into N-element chunks

at least loop from 0 to $#vars instead of mucking about with length-1

Actually I used to do this. But I have started getting out of the habit as I understand $#array has been removed from Perl6.

Do you really think its that confusing? @array is a one based number, and indexes are zero based. Seems pretty reasonable to me... And I have to say that definately _dont_ agree that its more error prone than a C-Style for loop.

But I have started getting out of the habit as I understand $#array has been removed from Perl6. Perl 6 isn't Perl 5.x, it's a new language that happens to be a lot like Perl 5. You will have to re-code things anyway. There will be a Perl 5 to 6 converter, so $#foo will be converted to @foo.end or @foo.last (I forgot which one it was), which is probably better than (@foo.length - 1). - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.
