I would like to know, is perl6 going to have something like select
(with arguments created by fileno/vec), or something like IO::Select
(with which the user doesn't need to know about the implementation,
which happens to be done with fileno/vec/select), or only an event
loop.

I know that perl6 has / will have lazy strings, since (in
S32::Containers) the List role defines a cat method, which returns a
Cat object, which "does the Str interface, but generates the string
lazily."
First, are Cat objects documented anywhere else?
Secondly, if a regular expression match is d

Has there been any decision yet over what model(s) of threads perl6
will support?
Will they be POSIX-like? ithread-like? green-thread-like?
It is my hope that more than one model will be supported... something
that would allow the most lightweight threads possible to be used
where possible, and i
to talk to this object as though it were a T1 now'.
Might it be possible to use the type system to make this less painful
than it usually is?

Sorry for the delay in replying, but I was busy with other things and I
wanted to give other people a chance to reply. Since noone has, might it
be possible to get the attached patches committed? I'm not familiar with
the protocol for such things so, again, I'm sorry if I've got
includes line-starting # comments.
However, I would much rather see a general syntax like
(# ... )
{# ... }
[# ... ]
with no whitespace allowed between the opening bracket and the #: this
doesn't seem to conflict with anything. Allowing <# ... > in rules would
also be nice.

mpty list.
Would using [[]] instead work? This is (at least to me) nicely visually
indicative of 'build a list of lists'. It is a little punctuation-heavy,
of course; though we could always allow "\x{27E6}\x{27E7}" as an
alternative :).

ove *all* Unixisms from Perl (unlink, flock,
fork, and all the signal stuff spring to mind; a case could be made for
the filetest ops as well). I think that that level of culture- and
