The Perl6 version is about the same:

sub insert_after_first( $elem, $new, *@data ) {
    return if @data.elems < 1;
    my $front = @data.shift;
    return ( $front, $new, *@data ) if $front ~~ $new;
    return ( $front, insert_after_first( $elem, $new, *@data ) );
}

I thought the parameter naming being specified in the declaration would help, but you still neet to shift the front element off of the data list for comparison or it gets real ugly.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
