1. Are there any interactive inspection tools in the current Perl6 implementations? S12.pod talks about a "methods" method (on the object returned by .HOW at least), but that doesn't seem to exist in Pugs... I think in this stage where the impls are incomplete and people are playing around with them (and looking for areas to help out in) it would be helpful to have a way to ask 'what can this object do?' from within the interpreter.
2. The question I was trying to answer by poking around: what is/will be the P6 equivalent of P5's $. ? I assume the answer is a method on the filehandle object, but called what? Should it keep the P5 IO::Handle name (input_line_number)? Or something else perhaps a little less unwieldy (lineno, recno, ...) I don't see any reference to $. in the Synopses, so I assume this is not yet defined. Apologies if I just missed it. -- Mark J. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
