Heh, I wonder if I'm missing something, but it appears that Data::Alias's interface is better in several ways than Perl6's. How will Perl6 support the following tasks other than with these relatively ugly hacks:
$w = alias [$x, $y, $z];
# vs.
$w[0] := $x;
$w[1] := $y;
$w[2] := $z;
alias push @x, $y;
# vs.
push @x, 0;
@x[-1] := $y;
alias my( @x )= @y;
# vs.
@x= ();
@x[$_] := @y[$_] for 0 .. @y.last;
alias my( @x )= GetList();
# vs.
is this possible with Perl6's syntax?
Perhaps Perl6 should have 'alias' built in along with the more succinct := operator?

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).
