One of the things done for Perl 5.10 is to make dirhandles be a little
bit more like filehandles. On OS's that allow it, things like
stat DIRHANDLE
-X DIRHANDLE
chdir DIRHANDLE
all make sense and do what you'd think they'd do.

Others seem to think differently. C'est la vie.

Older versions of Eclipse are not able to enter these characters. That's
where the copy and paste comes in.

rerequisite to experimenting in Perl 6. My bigger point is
about system settings which are typically locked down and not usually

of beers and lunches, or the right catastrophe, which could have been
prevented and/or repaired with the tool you want, to speed up the process.

Looking at my U.S. English keyboard, I don't have a cent sign. I don't

One function I noticed on the S29 list was reset(). With lexically scoped
variables, reset is almost useless. "Perl in a Nutshell" calls it "vaguely

since it took almost five years to be found. The question that a few of us
discussed is whether it should be allowed at all? Is it a syntax error?
If not, what is its purpose?

Just to clarify then, are the following two equivolent?
my $x = 1 => 2 => 3 => 4;
my $x = 1 => (2 => (3 => 4));

I've been starting to play around with Perl 6 and pugs when I ran into
some questions regarding pairs. I've looked through "Perl 6 and Parrot
Essentials" as well as the Apocolypses and others and haven't found
a good answer. What is the method for retrieving a key or
