Hi,
I am making a presentation about Perl6 this week end. My point will
be: the next generation of applicative languages will be scripting
languages because they have come of age.
Alternatives don't cut it anymore. Indeed C and C++ are memory
allocation nightmare; Java and C# don't have

Thank you for your detailled answer. I still don't get what you mean
by [] pattern matching arguments.
Do you mean smart pattern matching on composite values?

Hmm, maybe that's not such a bad policy. I wonder what other dangerous
modules we might have. Ada had UNCHECKED_TYPE_CONVERSION, for instance.
How about
use RE_EVAL; # or should that be REALLY_EVIL?

Hi,
(I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed.)
one day a friend asked if Perl 5 had a REPL facility.
(Read-Eval-Print-Loop). I told him it has perl -de0, which is different
in that it does not preserve the lexical scope across evaluated lines.
This is because eval STRING creates its

Neither in itself. I'm looking for a way to refer to

That is what I'm wondering about. I'm sorry I was so unclear.
Can you tell me what your idea of a scope is? I'm thinking a
