As an eager reader of these articles, I would find such hooks quite helpful.

How about a standard section near the end of each article:

   To learn how to use @@() for multidimensional context, see...

Yup. Fixed now in S28draft.pod. Mention in Variable.pod will follow.

The $*ARGS variable shows up in this file, which looks like it's still 
maintained:

  http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/AES/S28draft.pod


That's a typo (mine). It should be @*ARGS and refers to simple access to 
the command line arguments. (Fixed.)

Sadly, the build on that page is described as "Produced: Wednesday,
29-Nov-2006".

Is there a generally available, up-to-date Win32 build of Pugs?

Whither "use English"?

2005-04-11 Thread David Vergin
I'm working on docs/S28draft.pod in the pugs project. And consulting perl5's 
perlvar.pod, the issue of "use English" comes up. AFAICT from various sources, 
little has been said about this

NOTE: 
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/perl.perl6.language/msg/fa241233bcfba024: 
"we've already been through the whole C thing and how no one uses 
it"

What's the word. Will there be something like "use English"?

Regards to all,
David
