The default / operator is not going to do integer division. This is
not negotiable; normal people expect 1/2 to mean one half, so / is
going to coerce to some type that can support fractions. We'll use
"div" and "mod" for the polymorphic variants defaulting to floor
semantics, and things like edi

I'd find that somewhat unhelpful. Especially on a one-liner, l

Perl 5 just doesn't have a user-available type integer.

I opt for 1 being Int and 1.0 being Num. But for the

that the fractional part is zero, that is 1.0%1 == 0.

Sorry some zealous re-factoring screwed my earlier script. The objects

my $s = new Thread::Semaphore;
my @B :shared;
push @B, $a;
push @B, $b;

Actually this script displays: -
