There's a 'minmax' operator in S03. Is this coherent with that? On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 6:51 PM, wrote: > Author: colomon > Date: 2010-04-27 01:51:12 +0200 (Tue, 27 Apr 2010) > New Revision: 30480 > > Modified: >   docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Containers.pod > Log: > [Spec] Add .minmax m

Should @x be defined after only "my @x"? (RT #64968)

2009-08-12 Thread Kyle Hasselbacher
use v6; my $s;   #  ! $x.defined my @a;  # @a.defined That's the current Rakudo behavior. RT #64968 suggests that this is a bug. In Perl 5, @a would not be defined until something was put into it. Which should it be? I'd like to write a test for this. Thanks. Kyle.

Testing Perl 6 analog to Perl 5's tie.

2009-07-07 Thread Kyle Hasselbacher
My patchwork readings lead me to believe I could test Perl 6's tie-like feature with something like the below code, which I don't expect to even compile, what with '???' in places. My question is: am I on the right track? Obviously there are details I haven't nailed down, and any guidance would b
