I was flabbergasted by this one. # cat weird.p6 my$x=42my$y="Zaphod"~"Beeblebrox"my$z="I think they're just strange symbols of some kind"say"x='$x' y='$y' z='$z'"
# pugs weird.p6 x='42' y='ZaphodBeeblebrox' z='I think they're just strange symbols of some kind' Wow! It actually seems to work. Are semicolons as statement terminators optional in Perl 6? A cursory reading of the Synopses, I couldn't find a clear definition of precisely what is a "statement" (c.f. in C, where "an expression becomes a statement when it is followed by a semicolon"). /-\ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
