Josh,
... but in Perl 6, as in the Template Toolkit, the '.' will be used as
the method calling operator and ' _ ' will be used for string
concatenation.
But, alas, it is true no longer. Perl 6 will now be using ~ for this
(see, e.g., http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S03.html). Which I
personally think is just bizarre, but then nobody asked me. :) I rather
liked _ (well, actually I was one of those weird people who didn't see
any problem with just leaving it as ., but that was never really an
option).
Hmm, I was going to complain at first, since doing this requires some shift key action,
but then realized that '_' does too. Actually, '~' seems to be easier to type for me too.
I think it's probably an overall good change over "_".
Thanks for the Perl 6 update.
