2002-09-26 Thread Joe Gottman
Apocalypse 4 mentions unary '?' . Since this is used to force boolean context, I would assume that it has the same precedence as unary '+' and '_' which force numeric and string context respectively. By the way, has anyone come up with a use for binary '?' yet? Joe Gottman > - Ori

2002-09-26 Thread John Williams
I'm trying to write a revised operator precedence table for perl6, similar to the one in perlop.pod. This is what I have come up with based on Apocalypse 3 and Exegesis 3. Does anyone have comments? I'm not sure if the precedence for : (adverb) or 'is' and 'but' are quite right. perl6 opera

Hi folks! I did some tests with the new for loop and don't understand some of the results. Perhaps this is just due to some warts in the implementation at the moment. When looping over two lists of different length, the shorter stream shall give undefs, when it has come to the end of the list,
