Web development I: Web::Toolkit

Juerd's thoughts about Perl 6 web development Part one: Motivation and general thoughts If you know me, you know that I never really liked Perl 5's CGI.pm. In essence, I like that it has enabled a lot of people to build dynamic web pages in a reasonably simple way. However, it was avery large mon

Index of terms

It would be useful to have a consolidated global index into the synopses, etc. Also, I noticed in a thread someone asked a question that arose because some topics are covered in more than one synopsis. This problem might eased if a single index had links for all documents in a single place.

Trying to make a new operator

I tried to make a new "growth" operator. The code was (32 + 48).say; sub infix:<+> ($left,$right) { return 100 * ($right/$left -1); }; $pugs ./p6test.p6 returns with 50 But if I change the + character to (say) a cyrillic letter Д, I get the following error: $ pugs ./p6test.p6 *** unex

Okay, combining all these approaches minimalistically but without golfing we get something like: my @numbers = sort { rand }, constant @goal = 1..9; my $steps = 0; until @numbers ~~ @goal { say [EMAIL PROTECTED]; @numbers[ 0 ..^ prompt "Reverse how many? " ] .= reverse;
