During the Pugs Hackathon at YAPC::NA 2005, I managed to get various
unspecced tests and features reviewed by Larry, and posted them in my
journal. The original notes is attached; I'd be very grateful if you or
other p6l people can find tuits to work them back into the relevant
Synopses. :-)

When I go to the donation page and attempt to make a donation, the
drop-down box does not give DBI as a valid recipient. Is it possible
several people may not have donated as they noticed the same results, or

It achieves guaranteed *late* binding of types, whereas generics/roles

We should approach this from the perspective that $fh is an iterator, so
the general problem is how do we navigate a random-access iterator?.
Well - I kind of thought that $fh was a filehandle that knew how to behave
like an iterator if asked to do so. There are too many applications that

Hi,
i just wanted to ask what was about the method calling syntax on
$self, and why does
method ()
not work for calling a method on $self? (like in C++)

It seems a logical extension also to say

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but is the ` going to be in

IIRC, Larry wants to be able to distinguish method calls from sub
calls, so that
The basic problem is that I always hated looking at C++ and not knowing
whether I was looking at a function or a method, so I'm not going to
make standard Perl work like that. On the other hand, there's always
