I am now questioning using "Perl6 Timeline By Apocolypse" as reference material. I am rather interested in seeing the specs for pack/unpack so I went about finding where it should go: There are 2 RFCs listed for A09 for pack/unpack 142 Enhanced Pack/Unpack 247 pack/unpack C-like enhancements There is an RFC for A13 regarding distinguishing packed data 258 Distinguish packed data from printable strings The rest of the RFCs for pack/unpack fall into A29 246 pack/unpack uncontrovercial enhancements 248 enhanced groups in pack/unpack 249 Use pack/unpack for marshalling 250 hooks in pack/unpack Now S09 and S13 have already been written but do not include the details regarding pack/unpack. The patch to S29 is obvious - just add a heading for pack/unpack and hope someone fills in the blanks. The patch for S13 is more difficult since I don't believe it warrants a full heading. Probably just needs a guess as to how to expose the flag to return a bool value i.e. $string.packed, comment about the 'packed' warnings/strictures pragma, and stick it the "right" place. The patch to S09 has me stumped. Is there any other reference material I can use to put together solid frameworks that are closely representative to what @larry might produce? > Pm > Cheers, Joshua Gatcomb a.k.a. L~R
