Re: Re: Re: SOP6W

Hmmm. This is a little OT, but how would you do the equivalent of print $hash{bang}; in Perl 6? print %hash{bang};?

Maybe I should start reading the Apocolypses or something...

how would you do the equivalent of print $hash{bang}; in Perl 6? print %hash{bang};? Exactly. In Perl 6 the sigils for arrays (`@`) and hashes (`%`) are an intrinsic part of the variable name and consequently don't change when the variable is accessed. Maybe I should start reading the Apocolypses or something... Good idea. They're most easily accessed at: http://dev.perl.org/perl6/apocalypse/. The Exegeses and Synopses are also quite useful.

how would you do the equivalent of print `$hash{bang};` in Perl 6? `print %hash{bang};`? That's right. I think sigils on hashes and arrays (when accessing elements or slices) are one of the most confusing things for beginners, and this is an effort to correct that. I think `$hash{bang}` can be optionally `$hash.{bang}` (remember "->" is changing to "."), but you can leave out the '.' since its unambiguous either way.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
