During the Pugs Hackathon at YAPC::NA 2005, I managed to get various
unspecced tests and features reviewed by Larry, and posted them in my
journal. The original notes is attached; I'd be very grateful if you or
other p6l people can find tuits to work them back into the relevant
Synopses. :-)

Hello,
gaal is porting the Perl 5 filehandle functions to a Perl 6 OO
interface. The Perl 5 interface with global constants from Fcntl strikes
me as severely lacking in elegance and OO.

Instead of globals, how about a :from adverb?
$fh.seek(-10, :from);

I'm a pretty high level guy, so I don't know about the performance
implications of that. Maybe we want to keep seek() low level, anyway.
Any thoughts/decisions?

Well - I kind of thought that $fh was a filehandle that knew how to behave
like an iterator if asked to do so. There are too many applications tha

Sorry about replying to myself, but I want to ask a further question on
this.
Would it be possibl
Hi,
i just wanted to ask what was about the method calling syntax on
$self, and why does
method ()
not work for calling a method on $self? (like in C++)

Because perl can't distinguish between the method foo() and

It seems a logical extension also to say
$fh.pos += 10`byte

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but is the ` going to be in
Perl 6? I like it. :) How does it work, though?
sub *infix:<`> (Num $amount, Unit $class) { $class.new($amount) }
Or so?

IIRC, Larry wants to be able to distinguish method calls from sub
calls
The basic problem is that I always hated looking at C++ and not knowing
whether I was looking at a function or a method, so I'm not going to
make standard Perl work like that. On the other hand, there's always
use self "";
to go with everyone else's preferences:
use self "."
