What I want to be able to do is compare two references to see if they point to the same thing, in this case an object, but in other cases perhaps some other type of thing.
In synopsis 3, under the 'Binding' section, the =:= operator description is vague to the point that I don't know whether it applies to my problem or not. All I know for sure is that '$x =:= $y' will return true if previously '$y := $x', and I think that is a different situation than my pair of references.
In Perl 5, a standard string compare just so happened to work for comparing two object refs, but that was inelegant. In Perl 6 I need something better than comparing stringified ('eq') or numified ('==') versions of the objects.
The ref compare should have its own operator.
Now I seem to remember reading somewhere that '===' will do what I want, but I'm now having trouble finding any mention of it.
So, what is the operator for reference comparison?
Thank you. -- Darren Duncan
