sub test(Str :$format, Array[Str] :$filter)
{
say $format;
say $filter;
}
but

problem in Java for years before they added generics. And the whole point
of having a computer is to have it do repetitive things, e.g. loop over a
bunch of stuff and do the same thing to all of it. How is this an

Hi,
If you really want to avoid `Array[Str].new`, you can do something like
this:

Firstly, I like Perl 6. It has some nice attractive features that makes
me want to finally settle down to learn the language, the beauty and the
