I gave a talk on Perl 6 Junctions at the Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers
meeting last night
http://www.hcoop.net/~terry/perl/talks/p6-junctions/index.html
and two questions/desires came out of it:
1: will it be possible to know which element of a junction is
currently being used? E.g.:
A Perl 5 user thinks of flattening a data structure as taking
something which is nested and "linearizing" it.
FOR EXAMPLE:
use Data::Hash::Flatten;
# NESTED DATA
my $a = { bill => { '5/27/96' => { 'a.dat' => 1, 'b.txt' => 2,
'c.lsp' => 3 } },
jimm => { '6/22/98' => { 'x.prl'
The first discussion of flattening had to do with a list of data being
flattened into an array.
Further down we see another different use of the word "flattening" :

The unary prefix operator * flattens its operand

I have found String::Strip on CPAN to work well for my needs in this
area.
I was looking at a line in the hangman program:
@letters == @solution.grep:{ $_ ne '' };
and was told that I was looking at an adverbial block.
But I don't understand what that is and could not find a description
and examples in a reverse search on dev and nntp.perl.org.
I would appreciate a

Ashley, this is a great post. I have included it almost verbatim in my
p6 talk I'm giving tomorrow at our Perl Monger's meeting:

I hope you don't mind.
