Postings from September 2001
It's still largely incomplete, and getting a little weighty, so v.2 is up
on my web page:
http://members.home.net/bcwarno/Perl6/ref/statements.txt
I'm sure I didn't cover all the corrections from the first go round, so if I
missed anything, gently poke me in the side.
What's been added?
BEGIN|CHECK|END|INIT blocks
eval { block }
{ block } style code-refs
try / catch blocks
more definitions
scope diagrams
some detailed descriptions
a stub for continuations
What's been changed?
split the grep and map block entries
added a continue block to the iterating 'for' block construct
the definitions, many times.... :-)
What's left to do?
A lot. I apologize for it being so slow-going. The three big things
are to finish the detailed descriptions, do the comparisons and contrasts
(which will hopefully explain why "this" ne "that"), and then make any
recommendations. I still want to attribute most of the statements in the
document - or at least flag which ones have been set in stone.
I'm sure that many of my explanations may jar the more veteran of you, who
can more likely recite the pod and Camel explanations verbatim. Some of my
differentiations may seem pedantic. Thank you for your continuing patience
- if my madness were an object, there'd be a method to it.
As always, constructive criticism is welcome.
