hi all, we briefly covered damian's talk about rewriting perl5 modules in perl6 which i saw at oscon. i recalled one module was IO::Prompter and we looked at the p6 version. we should have also looked at the p5 version for a comparison. in the p5 code look for the sub _decode_args and see how long and full of code it is. the p6 version subsumes all of that into its signature and it is much shorter and cleaner. in the p6 version the prompt sub does this for you.
