date and time formatting

As I am interested in human-readable dates and times, and having found no conclusive discussion on time formatting, I make my recommendation for a syntax (to start discussion, and allow for date formatting to be implemented in pugs): I would like for time() to return an object, which in numeric co

parse problem with subroutines?

Running pugs r4158, I find that (some, at least) subroutine calls only work with no whitespace between the sub name and the arguments. sub numcmp ($a, $b) { return $a <=> $b }; $v = numcmp(1,2); # works fine $v = numcmp (1,2); # fails with $v = numcmp I don't see anywhere in the canon that
