What's the difference between 'v' and '' for NCI function parameters?
Here, for example, is the code for 'fv' and 'f':
static void
pcf_f_v(Interp *interpreter, PMC *self)
{
typedef float (*func_t)(void);
func_t pointer;
struct call_state st;
float return_data;
In runtime/parrot/library/ I see
ncurses.declarations
ncurses.pasm
ncurses.pbc
ncurses.pir
and I see tools/utils/ncidef2pasm.pl that'll convert
ncurses.declarations into ncurses.pasm.
But where did ncurses.pir come from? (Originally ncurses.imc?)
ncidef2pasm.pl c
The Class::Role and Class::Roles modules on CPAN implement a form of
compile-time Perl6 role composition for Perl5.
Neither supports run-time role composition, as-in:

The does operator returns the object so you can nest mixins:

So far http://pleac.sourceforge.net/ has comparative Perl Cookbook
example for these languages:
- perl, 100.00% done (naturally, since they're from the book)
- python, 63.43% done
- ruby, 62.43% done
- guile, 30.00% done
- merd, 28.86% done
- ada, 26.00% done
- tcl, 25.00% done
- ocaml, 24
