Thanks for your correction! But the 3 first main usages of ~ is about match. I suggest ?-> is I believe the one of advantages which perl6 is better than perl5 is its consistency. take a look below:
-
~ means string, so ~$foo change $foo into string context, and $foo1 ~ $foo2 make a concatenation.
-
+/- means numeric, so +$foo change $foo into numeric context and $foo + 3 is doing mathematic operation.
-
and ? means bool, * means global etc.......
as we see, in perl6, every sigil has its own consistent meaning and easily for learning. I don't say ~> is bad, I just want every new grammar/op adding during perl5 evolved should keep consistent.
I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

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).
