If I've got a set of matching properties, do I get to build hotels on my hashes? There are a number of properties built into Perl 6. Nearly all of these properties don't make sense across the board - eg, a scalar won't have a dimension, a hash won't prompt, etc. So given the two different

I was just wondering if there will be any solution for the circular refernece memory leak (I guess you can call it a problem). Can't we keep information on the number of circular references in the SV structure and then decrement the references count by one + the circular reference count at the

Did really think about that:) But off the top of my head... This is only a guess, but my $a; $a = \$a; A match of two addresses. Though we are assigning on reference to a scalar, we can match both addresses? package CircRef; sub new { my $self = []; bless $self, shift;

hi, I see nobody is talking here ... so ! Anyone to have idea how the Parser will work... I mean mostly at the language-developer side (not the internals). It will be written in Perl, right ?! some striped-version of Perl ?! i.e. what will be allowed and will not ? Will it support lookahead,
