Sorry, I really meant underscore. Anyway, tilda is indeed discussed as a possible concatenation operator. It makes indeed sense to use the same sign for the unary conversion to string and the binary concatenation. Also the underscore was less than ideal because it is used for identifiers. So that meant that it had to be surrounded by space.

There are very long threads in p6l about operators in general and concatenation in particular. Indeed, the status of underscore as concatenation character is contested and tilda seems the main contendant but that does not seem a done thing.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
