"my" variables are lexically scoped to the curly braces that contain

You can put "my $IAm" outside that block and assign to it inside the

Hi All,
I do prefer Zef over Panda.
Trivia question; the stuff I see happening at the
beginning of a zef install, what is that? Perhaps
a "C" compiler?

Dear Developers:
I got caught by the meaning of `last`. Although the documentation is

Hi All,
Looking at
https://docs.perl6.org/routine/copy
It does not look like there is a `recursive` option.
It that correct? Any work arounds?
If not, I have already written a recursive delete
