In Perl 5 my $var; ... for $var (...) {...} doesn't alter the contents of the $var global to the for loop. Is that true for both the -> and <-> variants of the Perl 6 for loop illustrated above?
Yes.
presume you can for @array <-> my $var {...}, in Perl 6 to make the scope of $var obvious.
No, you can't. Both arrows actually introduce a signature, and my in a signature doesn't make sense.
I used to write -> my $x too, but got used to omitting the my rather quickly :-).
Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

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).
