A rather direct translation: for lines() { # .=chomp; print join("\t", .split(':')[0, 2, 1, 5] ), "\n"; } Note that for `.=chomp` to work, you probably have to declare `$_` as `is copy`. for ("a\n", "b\n") -> $_ is copy { .=chomp; print join("\t",

My guesses at Perl 6 versions of the Perl 5 example: say .split(':')[0, 2, 1, 5].join("\t") for lines; -or- for lines { say .split(':')[0, 2, 1, 5].join("\t") } Pm On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 12:49:51PM -0700, William Michels via perl6-users wrote: > Hello, Just a short backgrounder to say

Hello, Just a short backgrounder to say that this question arose this past weekend at a Perl6 Meetup (Oakland, CA). Specifically we were looking at how to write a Perl6 version of some introductory Perl5 code in "Learning Perl", 7th Edition by Tom Phoenix, brian d foy, Randal L. Schwartz: #Perl 5

Also no need for all the brackets .say for lines; This is quite idiomatic Perl 6 and not golfing On Mon, 29 Jul 2019, 07:13 Joseph Brenner, wrote: > > Hmmm. I would expect that to be in the Perl 5 to Perl 6 Migration > Guides, but I do not see it there. > > Exactly, I was just looking there,

In Perl 6, you also don't need to explicitly use $_ in this case if you use the method form of say. for lines() { .say } On Sun, 28 Jul 2019 23:13:08 -0700 Joseph Brenner wrote: > [...] > > The perl6 version would be something like: > > #!/usr/bin/env perl6 > use v6; >
