"max" and "min" may be called "operators", but that doesn't mean they're INFIX operator. In Perl6, just like in Perl5, all the builtin "functions" are really defiend as operators, including "print" etc. But you can always call an operator as if it were a function/method, and in most cases you will. pugs> [1,2,3].max 3 pugs> min(1,2,3) 1 -- Mark J.
