Hi all,
I'm writing a bunch of examples for perl 6 pleac and it seems rather
natural to expect $string.chars to return a list of unicode chars in
list context, however I can't find anything to confirm that. (The
other alternatives being split and unpack.)
# unpack
@array = unpack(C*, $string);

I like that.

I'm working on docs/S28draft.pod in the pugs project. And consulting perl5's
perlvar.pod, the issue of use English comes up. AFAICT from various sources,
little has been said about this

What's the word. Will there be something like use English?
Yes, and it's the default :)

Yes, but it will be spelled:

I agree that it would be a nightmare if project A used presu instead of
print everywhere, while project B used toon, etc. But non-ASCII

I have to say I'm slightly confused too for some languages, especially
for syllabic alphabets. At the same time, I'm pretty clear for CJK,
Syllabaries, and alphabets, or at least I hope I'm clear (I guess I'm
about to find out), .chars just returns the right unicode level for

The string is probably represented internally as UTF-8, but that
should have no effect on what .chars returns, which should, indeed, be

Fair enough.

I think you're confusing UTF8 (which can represent ALL Unicode
characters) and the UTF8 subset which
Hey all, more pleac conversion questions:
I can't prove with the docs that a heredoc will continue to work as
positional params to a function call, particularly where it's not the
first param:
