Re: Larry Wall Interview

in reply to Larry Wall Interview

From Question number 5:
I also liked Ruby's unary splat operator, so I borrowed it for Perl 6.

I was wondering what is the "splat operator" and what it does. I did a searh for this on google but I couldn't find much. I also read the Apocalypse 3: Operators (October 2, 2001) and didn't see what I was looking for. Can anyone answer this?

The splat operator is the symbol also known as star or asterisk: ``. As a unary operator it will flatten lists in Perl6 (you will find it under Unary in A3). — Arien	[reply] [d/l]
