At a recent talk, Larry showed a line of code that was something like: (@a; @b; @c) := (@x; @y; 1,2,3);
I'm curious about the mapping of @c to a list of constants; if I write @c[0]++; am I bumping the value of 1? As it happens, this used to be the case on some old Fortrans that used literal pools. I _assume_ Perl6 won't have such a problem, but I'd like to hear how it works out... -r P.S. The Fortran code was something like: PROGRAM FOO CALL BAR(1) I = 1 PRINT I STOP END SUBROUTINE BAR(J) J = 2 RETURN END -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; phone: +1 650-873-7841 http://www.cfcl.com/rdm - my home page, resume, etc. http://www.cfcl.com/Meta - The FreeBSD Browser, Meta Project, etc. http://www.ptf.com/dossier - Prime Time Freeware's DOSSIER series http://www.ptf.com/tdc - Prime Time Freeware's Darwin Collection
