For those who missed it, these were answered by Larry in an update to
the specs.

In answer to this, Larry put something in the spec that says that @F
is replaced with @_
Now I'm happy :).

Am I right in guessing that the AnyEvent stuff should go in S17 ?

Hi. I wrote a variable finding program. The output is below for
those interested (yes, it relies on ack), but the questions the output raises
are:
- Does the $?TABSTOP have a special meaning, or is it just an example
like $?FOO is in so many places?
- Should those

Thinking about what I actually do. . .
A near equal test of a float ought to be a fractional error based on the
current value of the float.
$x tested for between $a*(1.0 + $errorfraction) and $a*(1.0 -

I think the use of % for the modulus operator is too deeply ingrained
to repurpose its infix incarnation.
I do quite like the magical postfix %, but I wonder how far it should
go beyond ±:
$x += 5%; # becomes $x += ($x * .05)? Or maybe $x *= 1.05 ?
$x * 5%; # becomes $x * .05 ?

Surely the interpretation of the index should be up to each array-type?

Because the contextual variable C$! contains all exceptions collected in the

It's an object, which (in the abstract) can contain anything it jolly
