Um,

Well, Perl 6 will let you do: if (@array[3,4] ^=~ /\S/) { ... }
so, in Perl 6, will that mean "and" or "or"?

That is, I recall ^=~ being able to work over a list, but what will if do with the resulting list? Will /\S/ be given a list context so that it returns an empty list upon failure so the final list is empty if and only if both matches failed?

In other words, does it become this? if(  map {/\S/} @array[3,4]  ) { (which has the same effect as the grep version but for slightly different reasons).

So, I think I've answered my own question but I'll post this anyway as I think some might find it interesting.
