I haven't had the chance to attend any of the Perl6 discussions yet. So I've
been following it from a distance... a looooonnnnnnnggggg distance ;)
>From what I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong... PLEASE!) Larry is actually
considering (or should I say, has already decided) to change $obj->method()
to $obj.method() in Perl6.
If that's true, my current opinion is that I think "->" and "." make sense
in their current forms. (e.g. The arrow points to what you want to do to
$obj and connecting (concatenating) two or more stings is like a game of
connecting the dot(s) "This " . "$foo " . "is not " "$bar\n")
Anyone know more about this? Is he hoping to make perl look more
javascript-ish or something?
Also, I think I recall there being mention of being able to precompile your
code using Perl itself (no need for Perl2exe or ActiveState's PerlApp) in
Perl6, is that true?
