Dan Sugalski: # So, what about the ramifications of: # # $foo = @bar # # @bar's get_integer method is called, and $foo's set_integer method is # called. No temp PMCs.
Huh? Assigning an array to a scalar yields a reference to an array. In integer context that yields the length. In string contents that yields the Perl 6 equivalent of join($", @$foo) (or whatever). # $foo = %bar # # calls %bar's get_string method and $foo's set_string method. See above. IIRC hashes work the same way as arrays, more or less.. # $foo = keys %bar (or whatever we're using in perl 6 for this) # # calls %bar's get_integer method and $foo's set_integer method. No. Once again, yields an array ref. (Though perhaps a lazily-generated one.) # The only issue we really have is how do we get a scalar PMC for an # aggregate PMC. Working on that. Still, your basic point--that there's more than one kind of 'set'--is well put. --Brent Dax [EMAIL PROTECTED] Parrot Configure pumpking and regex hacker Check out the Parrot FAQ: http://www.panix.com/~ziggy/parrot.html (no, it's not mine) <obra> mmmm. hawt sysadmin chx0rs <lathos> This is sad.
