So for example, the commonly used "print" command will be replaced by: And the almost-as-common "if" will become: Instead of "foreach" it will be possible to use: And lastly, any reference to "$_" or "($_)" can be replaced by: So a typical Perl 6 program segment might look like this. #!/usr/bin/perl (@_) { { ; } } Larry has expressed his gratitude to the Python developers for their initial work in this area. ===== only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's, nine l's, four m's, twenty-five n's, twenty-four o's, five p's, sixteen r's, forty-one s's, thirty-seven t's, ten u's, eight v's, eight w's, four x's, eleven y's, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single ! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
