All: Please forgive me, but I have only recently started following the language side of p6 after spending a fair amount of time with Parrot. Last night I installed Pugs and wrote my first p6 code:
http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=451398 Reading S04, it seems that there are no implicit blocks around control structures, so p5 code like: while ( my @array = $ref->() ) { ... } would scope my @array appropriately, it will not in p6 The solution is formal parameters. The trouble is I can't seem to find a good example in S04 that matches what I am trying to do. while $ref() -> @array { ... } is what I think it might be modeling it after the for loop, but the closest thing I see for while is: while =$*IN -> $line {...} I am happy to write tests to get the appropriate functionality in Pugs, but I am not sure what is appropriate???
