FWIW, at one time there was discussion that "" and "" are actually keywords and not typical method calls that can be overridden, precisely so optimizations can be made. They're that important to efficient running of the regexes. I'm not sure that a formal decision was ever made on this,

Perl 5's $0 vs. Perl 6's $*EXECUTABLE_NAME

I finally found the Perl 6 version of Perl 5's $0 listed in: tablets.perl6.org/appendix-b-grouped.html#special-variables as '$*EXECUTABLE_NAME', and I expected it to act the same as $0 in Perl 6, but I have two problems with it: 1. When used it yields 'perl6' regardless of the script's name

Re: External call like Capture::Tiny of Perl 5 ?

This is in discussion right now, and since the recent pipe() addition, we have another bit implemented to actually make your proposal work. Though, we've not yet decided where we want to go, how one opens such a pipe or captures stdout/err, or does redirections of said handles... I hope we can

External call like Capture::Tiny of Perl 5 ?

I see there are 'run' and 'shell' functions that return the exit status in Proc::Status, and QX that returns the output. Wouldn't it be better to have a function the returns and object that contains both the status, the stdout and the stderr? e.g. extending Proc::Status to be able to hold those

[perl #73790] [BUG] Rakudo doesn't accept several -e options (but Perl 5 does)

Recently there was a change in the S19-commandline design document (https://github.com/perl6/specs/commit/8f8c84034c) and now -e program stops option processing. So the following is now expected behaviour $ perl6 -e 'print OH HAI\n;' -e 'print OH BAI BAI\n' OH HAI $ perl6 -e 'say @*ARGS' -e
