<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Here are the answers that I didn't have
at the presentation:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>$$ is spelled $*PID in Perl 6</li>
<ul>
<li><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://doc.perl6.org/language/variables">http://doc.perl6.org/language/variables</a></li>
</ul>
<li>What's the deal with use strict and why didn't we see an
error in loop.p6</li>
</ul>
<p>So, use strict is the default in Perl 6:<br>
</p>
<p><tt>#!/usr/bin/env perl6</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>use v6;</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>$foo = 'bar';</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>say $foo;</tt><tt><br>
================================================================================</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>perl6 use_strict.p6</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>===SORRY!=== Error while compiling
C:\development\perl6/use_strict.p6</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Variable '$foo' is not declared</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>at C:\development\perl6/use_strict.p6:5</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>------> <BOL><HERE>$foo = 'bar';<br>
</tt><br>
<tt>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
</tt></p>
<p>So this is why I didn't get the above error (boiled down to a
simpler form):<br>
</p>
<p><tt>#!/usr/bin/env perl6</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>use v6;</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>loop (my $number = 1; $number <= 10; $number++) {</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> say "loop \$number: $number";</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>}</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>say $number;</tt><br>
</p>
<p>Because I declared <tt>$number</tt> as a my variable in <tt>loop,</tt>
<tt>$number</tt> is a <tt>my</tt> variable outside the scope of
the <tt>loop</tt>.<br>
<tt>
</tt></p>
<ul>
<li>Does P6 still support read/write mode when opening files?</li>
<ul>
<li>Yes. Use the <tt>:rw</tt> option</li>
</ul>
<li><tt>shift @_</tt> vs <tt>shift</tt></li>
<ul>
<li>Bare <tt>shift</tt> definitely does not work. I'll need
to do some more research as to why. In Perl 6 you won't
really want to do this, as you have true function signatures
available. So I don't see that this is really a big issue.
:)</li>
</ul>
<li>What happened to <tt>wantarray</tt>?</li>
<ul>
<li>It's easier to answer this just by posting the link to the
answer:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://doc.perl6.org/language/5to6-perlfunc#wantarray">http://doc.perl6.org/language/5to6-perlfunc#wantarray</a><br>

</ul>
</ul>
