Perl 6: Multiple subexpression modifiers with in a statement?

[BUU]

As I understand it right now, every piece of code is made of "statements". Each of these statements is made up of an "expression" and possibly an "expression modifier". The expression is of course something like "$a='b'", and the modifer is something along the lines of "if bar;" or "while foo". Currently, in perl5, you can only have one of these modifiers, so that $x = 'b' while(<foo>) if $bar; doesn't work. Anyone know if there is any planning to change this in perl6?

[Aristotle]

I hope so - it would certainly be useful to be able to write

s/foo/bar/ for @$_ for @LoL;

Last I checked, it wasn't decided either way.

[Elian]

Yes. It'll work.

[kelan]

Will it simply associate modifiers right-to-left? As in, the rightmost modifier modifies everything to the left of it, etc. What I'm getting at is that I don't want to have to think about something like "modifier precedence" when chaining them like this.

[Elian]

It'll be strict right-to-left. Just don't throw mys in there, as proper scoping in chained modifiers is never what people expect, and may well just be disallowed.
