Thanks ToddAndMargo

Perhaps I have some questions to help improve the docs (I think):

1- You told about arrays of hashes, in Perl5 the opposite (hashes of arrays) is quite fuzzy. Then, in Raku, how do I deal with hashes of arrays?

2 - "[...]say %h<a b>:p;   # note: no comma between the a and the b[...]", that is interesting because using comma or semi-coma I had different behavior.

    perl6 -e 'my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a c>:p'
    perl6 -e 'my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a, c>:p'
    perl6 -e 'my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a; c>:p'

Sure, you notice I used "perl6" instead "raku". I'm not updated.

Hi Aureliano,

Hmmm.  Interesting.  Never used hashes of arrays. I am
at a loss.

What would be the usage?


Tip: at the command line, enter "perl6" by itself.
It will open up what is called REPL.  It is like a
scratch pad to test code.  Your code looks like this
in REPL.

$ raku
To exit type 'exit' or '^D'
> my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a c>:p
(a => x c => z)
> my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a, c>:p
(c => z)
> my %h = a => "x", b=>"r", c=>"z"; say %h<a; c>:p
(c => z)

Currently it borks on constrained values (my int32 $x).
It has an open bug on it:

$ raku
To exit type 'exit' or '^D'
> my int32 $x;
0
> say $x
Bytecode validation error at offset 148, instruction 23:
operand type 32 does not match register type 24 for op getlex_ni in frame <unit>

One of the guys on the group told me about REPL and I
LOVE IT!

On my system (Fedora 31):

$ raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2019.07.1 built on MoarVM version
2019.07.1 implementing Perl 6.d.

$ rpm -qa rakudo*
rakudo-pkg-2019.07.1-03.x86_64

$ alias p6
alias p6='perl6 -e'

$ which raku
/usr/bin/raku

$ which perl6
/usr/bin/perl6

$ ls -al /usr/bin/raku
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Dec 25 14:36 /usr/bin/raku -> /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/perl6

$ ls -al /usr/bin/perl6
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Nov 3 14:53 /usr/bin/perl6 -> /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/perl6
