Re: Perl 6 Module and Program File Extension Conventions?

[Parrot Raiser]

For *nix, don't use a suffix. #! does the job.

For Windows, you'll want to leave .pl and .pm for Perl 5.

Perl 6 Module and Program File Extension Conventions?

[Tom Browder]

In Perl 5 it seems the prevailing convention (in my experience) is to
use ".pl" for Perl programs and ".pm" as file suffixes for Perl
modules.

In Perl 6 I have seen in the various repos, blogs, and doc both ".pl",
".p6", and ".pl6" for programs and both ".pm" and ".pm6" for modules.

Is there any consensus or preferred set of file extensions for Perl 6
in use among the heavy-hitter developers?

I try not to be overly concerned about such matters, but consistency
does help IMHO, and I would like to use community best practices when
I can

Thanks.

Best regards,

-Tom

Looking at the documentation, http://doc.perl6.org/language/modules
see "Basic structure".

Re: Mooch a regex

[Tobias Leich]

First of all, your fist line contains a bug, unless the topic variable 
($_) is set to something meaningful.

Because the regex after the 'and' matches against said topic. See:

~$ perl -E '$_ = "bar"; say ("foo" =~ /f+/ and /o/)' # "", so false
~$ perl -E '$_ = "bar"; say ("foo" =~ /f+/ and /a/)' # "1", so true

I guess you wanted to match $ClickLine against both regexes.
In Perl 6 I would it as:

# Continue if any of the two match, that pipe char describes an alternation.
if $ClickLine ~~ / aes256 | $BaseTag / {
push @WebClickHere, $ClickLine;

# Capture all non-dash characters in $.
if $Line ~~ / 'select id="' $=[ <-[-]>* ] / {
push @WebVersions, $
}
}

If $BaseTag contains a regex rule, say "fo+b.r", then you'd enclose it 
in angle brackets:

if $ClickLine ~~ / aes256 | <$BaseTag> / { # ...
This is alled a "regex assertion".

It is a string and can vary.

Would you show me both ways to keep me out of trouble?

Hi All,

Would yo all terribly mind if I ask how to do this Perl 5 regex
in Perl 6?  (I learn best by example.)



if ( $ClickLine =~ /aes256/ and /${BaseTag}/ ) {
  push ( @WebClickHere, $ClickLine );

   if ( $Line =~ m{select id=\"(.*?)[-]} ) {
  my $VerLine = $1;
  push ( @WebVersions,  $VerLine );
   }
}
