Mostly Harmless Docs/Context
Perl 6 still makes use of context, but expands upon it. Moritz’s Contexts article contains more info. For now, we’ll just note that you can force a given context on a given expression by prefixing it like so:
| prefix | context |
|---|---|
~foo |
string |
?foo |
boolean (True or False) |
+foo |
numerical |
-foo |
numerical (but also negates) |
$(foo) |
generic item context |
@(foo) |
list context |
%(foo) |
hash context |
@@(foo) |
slice context |
