# Binary _ # Since . is taken for method calls, we need a new way to concatenate strings. We'll use a # solitary underscore for that. So, instead of: # # $a . $b . $c you'll say: # # $a _ $b _ $c The only downside to that is the space between a variable name and the # operator is required. This is to be construed as a feature.
Ouch. Although I don't wish to reignite the Concatenation Wars, I think this is just too...too.../ugh/ to be put in. If we're gonna do that we might as well do 'j' or 'cc'--no shift key needed and they actually have a meaning related to concatenation. OTOH, the only symbols left on the keyboard that aren't now taken as binary operators are \ and ->. For now, I'll leave ~ as concatenation in babyperl, just because I don't think this will last too long. 0.02, which should be ready Real Soon Now, will use ~. <half-joking>With the many different opinions on this, maybe we should just have three or four different concat operators...</half-joking> --Brent Dax [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configure pumpking for Perl 6 They *will* pay for what they've done.
