Hi, here are several ways to get in touch with us:
http://perl6.org/community/
If you want immediate answers then IRC is your choice.
Mailing lists do not always deliver immediatly, sometimes it takes two
days for me to reveive mails that way...
my regex test { <[a..z]>+ }; say "abc123" ~~ / <test> /
OUTPUT«?abc?? test => ?abc???»
my regex test { <[a..z]>+ }; say "abc123" ~~ m/ <test> /
OUTPUT«?abc?? test => ?abc???»
my regex test { <[a..z]>+ }; my $x = "abc123"; $x ~~ s/ <test> /ohh?/;
say $x
OUTPUT«ohh?123?»
You can also put it in a variable, but you will notice that it does not
capture:
my $test = / <[a..z]>+ /; say "abc123" ~~ / <$test> /
OUTPUT«?abc???»
my $test = anon regex { <[a..z]>+ }; say "abc123" ~~ / <$test> /
OUTPUT«?abc???»
But you can always capture (or alias) explicitly be doing:
my $test = anon regex { <[a..z]>+ }; say "abc123" ~~ / <test=$test> /
OUTPUT«?abc?? test => ?abc???»
I hope that helps.
Cheers, FROGGS
