Re: Naming the method form of s///

Perhaps the long name substitute would work? While it does loose the brevity of subst, it's very clear about what it does and has the mnemonic association with s///. Sage
Re: A suggestion for a new closure trait.

Thus, at the beginning of each loop iteration either FIRST or RESUME but not both would get called. Other possible names for this block include REENTER, SUBSEQUENT, or NOTFIRST. So RESUME would be to FIRST as NEXT is to LAST? It's like the SATs all over again... Sage
Re: Perl5 - Perl 6 Translations Design Document
Just an update: I've started coding (in haskell, to be used with Pugs). I've got file input, I've got a data structure for the AST, now I just have to make them play nicely together. I'll start implementing translations soon, so any other corrections would be appreciated. Thanks to everyone who's already given me corrections, sorry for the mistakes I made (no more top posting for me). Sage
Re: Perl5 - Perl 6 Translations Design Document
interpolative context ment the perl 5 side, where the double quotes should
cause interpolation. Maybe not the best phrase to identify it, now that you
mention it.

You say this:
-Hash in interprative context: %hash - %hash{} (also @{[...]} -
{...})
Hashes don't interpolate in Perl 5, so that's not an issue (unless I'm
misunderstanding what you meant). But using {...} instead of @{[...]}
is definitely a good thing.

Perl5 - Perl 6 Translations Design Document
Hello all, I'm the student picking up on the translation work lwall started. Since the perl 5 parser is more or less complete, I've headed straight to the translation work. I'm going to be taking on the translations a few at a time, starting with the easiest translations and moving to the more complex. I've got a design document detailing the first few translations I'll be handling, and I'd greatly appreciate feedback and advice. Larry already took a good crack at it, catching a few things I had stupidly thought were simpler then they are, and now it's ready for general review. The current version can be found at http://infohost.nmt.edu/~slatorra/conversionstageone.txt Any advice/comments/criticism on the document and even ideas on implementation would be greatly appreciated.
