Re: [Omaha.pm] Do you ~~ ?

Wasn't aware of this except in the "given/when" example shown.  Very nice!

Also, I thought given/when is in Perl 6 only? Did I miss something?  Admittedly I haven't had as much time to mess with hacking Perl lately!

Best Regards,

Anyone use this beast?

I use implicit smart matching with the  when statement the most.

eg.

given ( $a ) {
    when ( $b ) { dosomething(); }
    default { dosomethingelse(); }
}
