Today I wrote some perl5 code for the umpteenth time. Basically:
for( my $i=0; $i $#ARGV; $i++ )
{
next unless $ARGV[$i] eq -f;
$i++;
$ARGV[$i] = absolute_filename $ARGV[$i];
}
chdir foo;
exec bar, @ARGV;
I'm trying to work out if there's a clever perl6 way to write

pattern matching:

There is, but it's a different kind of pattern matching:
if @*ARGV ~~ / ,
In perl 5:
my @a = (1,2,3);
delete $a[1];
print exists $a[1];
This is false, whereas $a[0] and $a[2] do exist. This is creepy. Not
only is it creepy, it raises a whole bunch of questions with
nontrivial answers:
* does [EMAIL PROTECTED] include nonexistent elements?
* does

If by stop you mean die, yes it would stop.
not what I wanted :-(
Is there some way to associate alternate codeblocks for

Is it possible to have an anonymous multi sub?
This would seem to require new syntax for combining two anonymous
definitions.
Of course we want
