Pretty entertaining stuff. Something uncanny about it. Cool to watch a programming language being designed or influence it. "... we won't make the mistake of reintroducing a syntax that drives highlighting editors nuts. We'll try to make different mistakes this time." "... that Perl programmers must learn to write @foo[1] where they used to write $foo[1]. I think most Perl 5 people will be able to get used to this, since many of them found the current syntax a bit weird in the first place." "$#foo is gone. If you want the final subscript of an array, and [-1] isn't good enough, use @foo.end instead." Envy the beginners then, who won't have to care something changed. Everybody will be a beginner on points here and there. /g -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
