I was once looking for strftime and stumbled over https://gist.github.com/salortiz/051c7a81400522e30a7cf12377c02f70 and https://github.com/supernovus/perl6-datetime-format My choice was in favor of DateTime::Format though. Anyway, often googling with 'perl6 ' might provide one with even more

Dear Perl6, Would you please consider updating https://docs.perl6.org/routine/contains to explain what the second parameters means? say "Hello, World".contains(',', 10); # OUTPUT: «False␤» and include how to do case insensitive matches. Many thanks, -T

date conversions?

Hi All, I want to convert "2018 Jun 7" into 2018.06.07". I know I can do this myself, but is there a utility already written for this? https://docs.perl6.org/routine/Date does not seem to enlighten me. Many thanks, -T -- ~~ Computers are like air
