Edwin Steiner: # Is this going to concat $a,$b and $c? # # $foo = _($a,$b,$c); # # (One way to save underlines and spaces.) # Or would that be: # # $foo = _@($a,$b,$c);
That would be C<$foo=join('', $a, $b, $c)>, just like in Perl 5. # BTW: what will these do? # # $a _=_ ($b,$c); That's concatenating a stringified list ($b, $c) to $a. (Unary _ is the stringification operator.) # $a ^_= ($b,$c); # (better with hypo-operator?, see below) # # (WIM in Perl 5: $a .= $b.$c ?) No, that'll be the same as C<$a _= $c>, since $a creates a scalar context. # Could there also be *hypo*-operators, i.e. operators which try to # *lower* (reduce) the dimensionality of their operands to the lowest # common dim. So # # $foo = 5 +^ (1,2); # # would set $foo to (5 + 1) + 2 and # # $foo = $a _^ ($b,$c); # $a _=^ ($b,$c); # # would do the same concats as above respectively? # Another application: # # $sum = 0 +^ @values; # # Granted: ^ is not the best choice for a meta-operator which lowers # something. :) I don't really see the use of hypo-operators. Note that everything I said here is subject to overriding by someone who knows more than me. :^) --Brent Dax [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configure pumpking for Perl 6 They *will* pay for what they've done.
