in thread using shift and $_ in loop

Are you going around tempting people to use perl6?

Yes. In fact that's how Perl got popular in the first place: people posted easy Perl solutions to problems that were posted in usegroups which got typically answered with examples in shell scripts, sed or awk.

I wonder is all this stuff I'm looking at here actually implemented?

I haven't tried them, but the examples I gave you use only features that are implemented in Rakudo.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.
