(I'm just studying the intricacies of Perl 6, so please correct me if
i say something stupid or if this has already been discussed before.)
I was looking for the Perl 6 equivalent of
"aaa" =~ /a{1,3}/
and finally found that it's
"aaa" ~~ /a**{1 .. 3}/
This looked rather weird, so i asked on I

I got the reply that it is similar to exponentiation of variables in math:

It makes sense after it is explained and i do like the rationalization
of the range as a list-like range, instead of the comma, b

Another important loss if we were to go with <1..3> would be the
ability to have runtime-dependent ranges; e.g.:
/ ($ntimes) x**{$ntimes} /
That's exactly what i meant by "something stupid".

The examples of := usage in S05 seem to have notation such as this:
$ := (\d+)
Yes, that is correct. I've been away from the Perl 6 community
Hello,
I'm a beginner of the PERL language and I have troubles in understanding a
PERL program these days. Actually I've been
confused for a long time.I hope you can look into this program and point out
the problem for me:) The program is in

Admittedly, that wasn't particularly germane to the perl6 mailing
list; but it did bring up an issue that's been bothering me for a
while.
I would like to see Perl6 handle the equivalent of IPC::Open2 using
the same sort of syntax and semantics that it uses for sockets, by
