Note! This site is about Perl 6.
If you are looking for a solution for Perl 5, please check out the Perl 5 tutorial.
The same can be used with functions so instead of writing
my $lower = min($lower, $new_value);
you can write
$lower min= $new_value;
tutorial/arrays/assignment_function_shortcuts.p6
#!/usr/bin/env perl6
use v6;
my $lower = 2;
$lower min= 3;
say $lower; # 2
$lower min= 1;
say $lower; # 1
This should even work with the comma operator effectively pusing more
values on an array but it is not yet implemented in Rakudo
my @a = (1, 2, 3);
@a ,= 4;
@a.say;
The Perl 6 Tricks and Treats newsletter has been around for a while.
If you are interested to get special notification when there is new content
on this site, it is the best way to keep track:
This is a newsletter temporarily running on my personal site (szabgab.com) using Mailman,
till I implement an alternative system in Perl 6.
