Maybe I'm not smart enough for Smart Match ;)
It seems that the operands in Smart Match are swapped to what I expected after reading the docs
Is perlsyn#Switch statements clear???
Most of the power comes from implicit smart matching:
when($foo)
is exactly equivalent to
when($_ ~~ $foo)
($_ was given)
and
# $a $b Type of Match Implied Matching Code
# ====== ===== ===================== =============
...
# Array Regex array grep grep /$b/, @$a
see perlsyn#Smart matching in detail
so when writing
given (@a) {
when (/abc/) {}
}
I expect this to be tested:
@a ~~ /$b/
in the meaning of
grep /$b/, @$a
Two possibilities:
a) the docs need a rewrite!
b) my brain needs a rewrite! ;)
Cheers Rolf ...still confused...
