I was wondering if perl would be handling negative array indices in the
same manner as perl 5?
That is to FETCHSIZE + index = real index, before attempting to fetch
the element.
It would be swell if the index was passed along as negative, and to then
have the guts do
this voodoo. This way, one cou

I think he's referring to Topaz.
All together now: Topaz is dead, Topaz never was (public).

How about:

dup/duplicate #nasty for the compiler, and perhaps for the newbies,
#but dup'ing var's makes sense, esp. from the C stance

These do habve meaning, Hexane is a six carbon hydocarbon.
Anthropods(esp. insects) have six legs...

However come perl
Oh yeah I forget to outline what it currently does for those whom may not have
seen it...
It's usally used for evaluation and interplation of code/subroutines
in "", qq() and <>2||($_<<2>12)){$_="Vainyvq ragel";&{$F[0]};last;}&t;$0-=$_;$_="Lbh jva";
die(&{$F[0]}) if !($0-1);$0-=$0%2?$0>2?2:1:$0<=
What's wrong with extending current syntax such that:
$a = "Hello";
print q(@{[$a]} World), "\n";
outputs
Hello World
instead of
@{[$a]} World
yes, it's a few extra char's but IMHO
it's a logical extension
it makes you think twice before doing it, do you really need to do thi

${"%percent"} = "Quoth the raven";

reset("%");

Quoth the raven
Sure looks like it starts
Since everyone seems intent on breaking backward compatibility
(Okay, so no one is explicitly setting out to do so, it is merely often
dismissed as a non-issue). How about an RFC be done proposing that
perl6 ship with a module named Perl5. Which one can use to remedy
most breakings between the two
Not a huge issue, but I hadn't seen anyone else bring it up.
If in fact:
bareword filehandles are ditched
globs are killed
prototypes are potentially touched.
perlsub
sub myopen (*;$) myopen HANDLE, $name
sub mypipe (**) mypipe READHA
Wohoo! REBOL-isous

How about
