Not to mention kinda useless. I was hoping for a magic array that would hold the actual *matches*, rather than pointers to their character positions. 'Course, such a thing might be rather resource intensive. And probably unnecessary, since Perl 6 regexes can simply assign to an array. Perl 5 is another matter. > I guess the golfing community would appreciate a mini-exegsis for what > Perl 6 can do for them :) [hint, hint] I rather expect that whatever Perl 6 does for golfers is a side-effect of what Perl 6 is doing for programmers who just need to get their work done.
