Autrijus' question and suggestion is an excellent one -- I've often wished for a good-sized list of Perl 6's built-ins. So, I've decided to start one, and hopefully others can help flesh it out. Thus far I've just started out with the standard operators and one or two built-in functions, but it should be enough to give others an idea for additions: http://svn.perl.org/perl6/misc/trunk/builtins.pod I'm putting this thread on perl6-compilers as being implementation-level details for now, and we can kick any larger-scale language design issues that we encounter over to perl6-language as appropriate. We may discover that we need to migrate large-scale threads over to that list, but we'll take things as they come. Additions, patches, suggestions, criticisms, discussion welcome. Pm
