Half of all numbers in [0, Inf) are in the range [Inf/2, Inf). Which

Well, open being much like IO::All::io would really make me happy.
That is:
my $fh = open 'foo.txt';

So outer is somewhat like {} in shell globs?
perl -le'print for glob "{1,2,3},{4,5,6}"'

I was hoping we could finally get rid of mode characters, and especially

I rather have a much "bigger" wish for an open-like operator that to be
fair I would like to see
I apologize in advance for posting yet another "suggestion" without having
full knowledge of all apocalypses, and I fear (for a very positive
meaning of "fear") that the answer will be: "but that is already
available".
Well, the point is that I wonder wether Perl6 will support cartesian

Hello,
I am missing, in Perl5, some shortcut for matching not whole word,
e.g.:
/^--v(?:e(?:r(?:s(?:i(?:on?)?)?)?)?)?$/
Would there be something in Perl6?
For Perl5 I suggest somenthing like this /--v(?-ersion)$/
Best regards

Hello,
I have a wish for Perl 6. I would like if the open-funktion
opens only a file if it doesn't exist.
Of course, I can first test if the file exist.
if (-e $filename)
{ print "file already exists!"; }
else
{ open (FH, ">$filename") }
My suggestion is to have a character for t
30 matches
