How to push a hash on an array without flattening it to Pairs?

[Gabor Szabo]

In the first two cases the hash was converted to Pairs before assigning to
the array.
Only the third case gave what I hoped for. How can I push a hash onto an
array as a single entity?


use v6;

my %h = x => 6, y => 7;
say %h.perl; #  {:x(6), :y(7)}

my @a = %h;
say @a.elems;   #
say @a[0]; # x => 6



my @c;
@c.push(%h);
say @c.elems; # 2
say @c[0];   # x => 6


my @b;
@b[@b.elems] = %h;
say @b.elems;  # 1
say @b[0];# x => 6, y => 7

Should the use of eval recommend EVAL?

[Gabor Szabo]

Hi,

I just tried to use

eval "say 19+23";


but I got:


===SORRY!=== Error while compiling a.pl
Undeclared routine:
eval used at line 3. Did you mean 'val'?


Would it be possible to recommend 'EVAL' as well ?

require on string stopped working in rakudo 2015.09

[Gabor Szabo]

Hi,

I am really glad Rakudo finally came out.
I've installed in and tried to run the tests of Perl6::Maven.

They quickly failed as I have been using 'require' on string
to check if all the module compile properly.

The following code now fails:

use v6;
my $name = 'Bailador';
require $name;


even though

require Bailador;

works.

In 2015.07 both worked.


I've fixed my script by switching to EVAL "use $module";
but I wonder if this is a regression or a planned deprecation?
