$foo{ three } = $doit->( 1 ); $quux{ two } = get_that( 25 );

There. All better now :) (And (probably?) compatible with Perl 6)

I personally believe that it strongly depends on how you're interpreting "compatible:" in fact the new dereferencer is a single dot and not an arrow any more - something that as far as I'm concerned (FWIW) seems reasonable and desirable 95% of the times and will make me regret the arrow the remaining 5% - but then think of the usefulness and clarity of dereferencing the implicit topicalizer (which is $_ as usual) and how ugly that would be if an arrow were to be used instead! Oh, and again I for one cherish the arrow now used for pointy subs, but that's mainly in connection with an RPL thingie that's very personal and possibly uninteresting to annoying for others so that I'm not repeating it here once more...

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.
