Hash and subs question

Hi All, Looking at this test I threw together; $ perl6 -e 'sub SayHash(%H) {say %H}; my %x = [aaa => "x", b=>"y", c=>"z"];SayHash(%x);' {aaa => x, b => y, c => z} I see that SayHash(%H) will take any hash I send it. Is there a way to make the compiler pissed if a sub does not see the specif

how do I assign an array to a hash key

Hi All, I am creating a hash. One of the keys I want to point to an array, not a string. I have created a test: $ perl6 -e 'my %x = [aaa => "x", b=>@["y","q","r"], c=>"z"]; say %x; for @(%x) {say $_};' {aaa => x, b => [y q r], c => z} y q r This seems too easy. I have to have done somethin

Hi All, Does perl 6 have an equivalent to bash's "-f" to see if a file exists? Or is that a system call? Many thanks, -T
