Maybe a list/array of pairs would be better, and then cast it to a hash if you need to do fast lookups. On Sep 30, 2017 12:41 PM, "Parrot Raiser" <1parr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Prepending the real key value with an order indicator, then sorting > the retrieved list on the key would achieve that,

How about qx and qxx? I guess those don't separate/capture stderr, and don't separate out the params. --Brock On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 10:57 AM, Gabor Szabo wrote: > The documentation has a nice example showing how to run an external > program and how to get its output or

Re: User defined infix operators and whitespace

I think there are a couple answers. The simple one is yes -- embrace the whitespace. Maybe wrap them in ()', like (2 d 6). Another line of ideas is wrapping things with some other operators. Maybe a special quoting operator or a converter. [[2d6]] # double for dice! "2d6":dice # postfix.

Re: Perl6 shell, Was: command auto-completion in perl6 shell

Some progress on this has already been made, which is how it got as close to standalone as it is now -- previously the REPL was more NQP than Rakudo. Do you have something specific in mind? One of my dreams is to adopt a client/server + middleware model from nREPL (clojure) which I think works

Re: Perl 5 list assignment idiom

The == operator coerces to Numeric, so like: > sub one-thing { return ("hi",) } sub one-thing () { #`(Sub|93867233982256) ... } > one-thing.Numeric 1 (mentioned in https://docs.perl6.org/routine/$EQUALS_SIGN$EQUALS_SIGN) I think my does indeed do some fancy precidenting with the assignment.

Looks like Term::ANSIColor does weird things with exported constants -- they are some sort of constant-function rather than simple strings. Here is an alternate usage that does what you want: #!/usr/bin/perl6 use Inline::Perl5; use Term::ANSIColor:from ; my $Red = color('red'); my $Reset =

Re: Observations from a C++/Python developer that never used Perl5

Quotes are almost a circumfix operator, but they act a bit more like a macro by controlling the parsing of the contents. But you can do some weird things like define your own quote-likes. perl6 -e ' sub circumfix:<>($v) { "{$v}" } ; say B"foo"B ' # output: foo or more verbosely perl6 -e ' sub

Re: can Perl 6 bootstrap itself

Simplification of Rakudo's build process is an ongoing process, and I see progress all the time. Remember also that Rakudo is the most active and complete implementation of Perl 6, but that there can and should be other completely separate implementations. On Aug 25, 2016 1:37 PM, "Dipesh

Re: Killer Features of Perl 6

Correct -- there are some excellent REPLs for perl5 such as Devel::REPL and tinyrepl. The advantage for Perl 6 will be (but is not yet) it's multi-threaded friendliness. I am slowly working on the tools to build something like clojure's nREPL -- a client/server repl where your console, editor,

Re: DBIish: Why can't I interpolate variable holding database name?

Right - use parenthesis in colon-pair parameters to get the variable inside. You could use :database<<$db>> to make it like a double-quoted string. Or my favorite is to use regular => as in database => $db --Brock On May 1, 2016 09:13, "Mathieu Gagnonn" wrote: Hello James,

I recommend putting your module into a 'lib' dir near your script. Then in your script add: use lib 'lib'; That way you don't have to add the -l param. On May 1, 2016 09:21, "Fernando Santagata" wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to write a module and make a program

Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

Heart doesn't work for me, but other symbols seem fine. I don't know why. I also didn't need to quote them. Here is a REPL session from a Rakudo 2016.01.1: > sub Δ($x) { say "got $x" } sub Δ ($x) { #`(Sub|106407520) ... } > Δ(23) got 23 > class Foo { method Δ($x) { say "method got $x" } } >

Yes, that is out of date. I don't know of any existing books or public efforts to write ones. We welcome contributions to docs.perl6.org, including tutorials, walk-throughs, etc (beyond just references). That resource is getting better, but slowly :) --Brock On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 3:59 AM,

If my understanding is correct (might not be), the tarball should be ALMOST equivalent to: rakudobrew build moar 2016.01.1 # Install rakudo 2016.01.1 rakudobrew global 2016.01.1 # Make this the default rakudobrew build panda # Build panda for this rakudo
