Hi Yary,
Chuckle. Missed one. What?? Or two or three ...
This program that I have been converting from P5 to P6 has been
a real learning experience. I been removing quotes, dots, parentheses,
reference pointers (you have to pass reference pointers to P5's
weird subroutine headers if you want to pass anything other than a
simple $ variable) ...
p5
if ( ! -d "$dir" ) {}
while ( slice ( "\n", "$WebStr" )) { my $Line = $_; }
p6
if not $dir.IO.d.bool {}
for slice "\n", $WebStr -> $Line { }
and on and on and so forth. I know a lot of them by heart now.
And yes, my P5 code could be cleaned up a bit too, but as
soon as I get this last one over into p6, I will be mostly
done with p5. I figure the good habit learning effort will
be best put to p6
