Text Concatenation

Text Concatenation

Thus Spake Andy:

We use ~ for text concatenation. This is what Perl 6 does (or at least it was last time I looked). We can't use Perl 5's . and _ as used in TT2 (and originally slated for Perl 6) is too hard to see. The ~ operator can also be used as a prefix operator to implicitly textify the next item.
