Re: Is S05 correct?

: Hmm,
: There are sevral appears in S05 which use => instead of -> in a for loop.
: So, Is this a typo?
: eg:
: for @{$<pairs>} => $pair {
: say "Key: $pair[0]";
: say "Val: $pair[1]";

Yes, that's a typo. Thanks. It is now fixed on svn.perl.org, and
should propagate to dev.perl.org by tomorrow.

Which reminds me, I noticed some Synopsis typos as follows.
S03:
1) "List flattening" section, sixth paragraph:
... call semantics as is does in scalar context
Change "is" to "it".
S04:
1) "The do-once loop" section, last paragraph:
... followed by a statment label
Change "statment" to "statement".
2) "Control Exceptions" section, third paragraph:
... or by falling of the end of it
Change "of" to "off".
3) "Control Exceptions" section, last paragraph:
... in current subroutine. then a fallback search
Change "then" to "Then".
S06:
1) "Parameter and arguments" section, last paragraph:
... need to be kept in the list until bound. an implementation
I assume "an" should be "An".
2) "Polymorhpic Types" section, second paragraph:
Fancier type constrains ...
I assume "constrains" should be "constraints".
3) "Generic Types" section, first paragraph, last sentence:
It declares the new type name in whatever scope the
surrounding declaration is associated lexical scope.
I found this phrasing unclear.
4) "Return Types" section, fifth paragraph:
... but outside the sub it just we don't know anything
I found this phrasing unclear.
5) "Pairs as lvalues" section, second paragraph:
... provided you write hte left side
Change "hte" to "the".
S11:
Though only an example, in the interests of historical
accuracy, I'd like to see:
use perl5:ACME::Bleach-1.0-DCONWAY;
changed to:
use perl5:Acme::Bleach-1.12-DCONWAY;
Only Casey West (erroneously) spelled Acme as ACME (to annoy
Leon Brocard). And there never was an Acme::Bleach-1.0; it
was moved from Bleach to Acme::Bleach at version 1.12.
S12:
1) "Methods" section, eleventh paragraph:
However, you can turn extend any of the legal forms...
I found this phrasing unclear.
2) "Types and Subtypes" section, sixth paragraph:
... (takes away capabiliites)
Change "capabiliites" to "capabilities".
S13:
1) "Fallbacks" section, second paragraph:
That is, you're specify the abstract operation...
I found this phrasing unclear.

Fixed, thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but where can I view the fixed Synopsis?
When I go to http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S05.html, I see that
the modification date is November 16, 2005. Is this the most up-to-date
version?

Essentially, yes. There have been a few corrections since Nov 16
to some typographical errors (for which none of the committers felt
was worth updating the modification date), but nothing substantial
has changed in S05 since then.

I don't think it's a stupid question at all. Larry could have meant
"it's fixed in my working copy" when he said "fixed!" and there would
be no possibility for you to view the fixed version until he commits
his changes.

I believe the html representations of these documents are generated
directly from the pod source in the subversion repository. Though I
don't know the particulars of how this happens. For S05, if you look at
http://svn.perl.org/perl6/doc/trunk/design/syn/S05.pod you'll see the
most up-to-date version. But, as pmichaud says, it doesn't differ
substantially from what you've already seen.
