No, but writing to it ought to simplify things :) given open 'mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' { .say(q0:to<.> Subject: Useful mailto open User-Agent: Perl 6 In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, world! . ); .close or fail; } > If it's for built-in, then only the most common protocols would be defined > I imagine. No, if it's built in, we should stick to the spec and interpret every ^\w+: (roughly - see RFCs for syntax specifics) as a scheme. > >>Also, I don't know much about rules with regex yet, but could you do > >>something like... > >> multi sub open ($u of Str where /<protocol(file)>/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) > >> returns > >>Handle {...} > >>Where < <protocol(file)> > expands to < file:// > > >Yes, but it's probably easier to just use a hash: %protocol<file>. > Easier or more efficient?
