Re: Design question re: function parameters

r lists: sub postfix:(Int(Cool) $n) { [*] 2 .. $n } That'll explode early when the string you pass doesn't intify properly. It'll also allow you to pass lists and use their length for example - not sure if you want that. Hope that helps! - Timo

Re: Variables in modules

"my" variables are lexically scoped to the curly braces that contain them. That means that your $IAm is limited exactly to that init block. Also, =~ isn't in perl6. You can put "my $IAm" outside that block and assign to it inside the block, though. HTH - Timo

Re: issues with

Re: debugging modules

rce a full recompile of all used modules (transitively) in memory, but you can copy-paste the modules you're interested in into a "lib/" folder and just -Ilib on the commandline. just make sure to rm -rf lib/.precomp between runs, i think! hope that helps! - Timo

Re: Fwd: Re: Variables in modules

I don't quite understand what's wrong with just my $TheValue = $?FILE.subst(/.* "/"/, "" :g); near the top of your module?

Re: my command line notes:

@*ARGS.perl ~ ">\n"; But even with "" you don't have to backslash the @ and the * there. You only would have to do that if you had a method call that includes parenthesis or if you had a subscript after something that looks just like an array variable. (these rules
