I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but is the ` going to be in
Perl 6? I like it. :) How does it work, though?
sub *infix:<`> (Num $amount, Unit $class) { $class.new($amount) }
Or so?
Now I'm t

It seems a logical extension also to say
$fh.pos += 10`byte

Sorry about replying to myself, but I want to ask a further question on

Well - I kind of thought that $fh was a filehandle that knew how to behave

Hello,
gaal is porting the Perl 5 filehandle functions to a Perl 6 OO

Or mayb
