In Perl 6, C<< => >> is a fully-fledged anonymous object constructor --
like C<[...]> and C<{...}>. The objects it constructs are called
"pairs"
and they consist of a key (the left operand of the C<< => >>), and a
value
(the right operand).
Can pairs also be used to create linke

I'll agree, depending on what you mean by "proper". I'd be interested in
having some means to perform set operations in perl6: unions,
intersections, differences, membership checks, and subset/superse

I've been starting to play around with Perl 6 and pugs when I ran into
some questions regarding pairs. I've looked through "Perl 6 and Parrot
Essentials" as well as the Apocolypses and others and haven't found
a good answer. What is the method for retrieving a key or value from a pair?

Junctions should be on or off by default, I prefer on.
Having them half-on is bad.
Because if it is half-on people(me) is going to write
C< if $x == 3 | 5 | 7 { > in N places then have to
change it and remember to change it in N-1 places. Oops.
ON or OFF. On please.
