By the way, until I figure out how to drive combust on perl.org,
the most recent versions of Apocalpses and Synopses may be found at
http://www.wall.org:~larry/apo
http://www.wall.org:~larry/syn
There are new S10, S11, S12, and S13 pods there.
Recent changes include:
Strictures and warnings are now the default in the main program.
Syntax of subtype and enum declarations more like normal declarations.
Subtypes are now declared with "subtype" keyword.
Symbolic ref syntax reverted back to ::($expr).
Syntax of operators now defined to leverage hash subscript syntax:
infix:«+» # op name always quoted now
circumfix:«[ ]» # multipart ops are now slices, no ... needed
circumfix:{'[',']'} # same thing
Special rule for splitting symmetrical operator names is gone, use slice.
Special rules for recognizing the ends of operator names are gone.
Current class is $?CLASS or ::?CLASS, not ::_.
Current sub is $?SUB, not &_.
There is no bogus first argument to the pair-arg variant of bless.
See the Synopses for details. Or read the Apocalypses, and search for
the string "Update:".
These files are all in utf-8. If you browser shows mojibake, try forcing
it to view as utf-8.
