Hello,What is the purpose of having $! in Perl 6? The global variables in Perl 5 are a constant headache, prompting us to need to local()ize variables like $@, $!, and $? to avoid unforeseen consequences like RT #127386 and those documented in Try::Tiny’s POD. Perl 6 seems to give us both the “right” and the “wrong” solution to accessing exception variables: we get $_ within a CATCH block (right), but we also get that global $!--which, to me, seems pathologically wrong.
But it's not global! None of $_, $/, $! are global. Cheers, Moritz
