Re: Peter Norvig Spelling Corrector in Perl 5

It's probably not massively complex to backport to Perl 5. There are gather/take implementations on CPAN you could use.

I do not think Perl 6 became popular. Correct me if I am wrong.

It hasn't yet.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

You don't need to use a gather/take implementation for that. You can just use an array in an outer scope, and push to it instead of calling `take`. gather/take does add laziness in Perl 6, but it doesn't seem necessary in this script.
