Functions
- infix:=== Overridden for Str.
TODO Functions
- p5chop
- p5chomp
- chomp
- length This word is banned in Perl 6. You must specify units.
- index Needs to be in terms of StrPos, not Int.
- pack
- pos
- quotemeta
- rindex Needs to be in terms of StrPos, not Int.

- unpack
- vec Should replace vec with declared arrays of bit, uint2, uint4, etc.
- words
our Char multi P5emul::Str::p5chop ( Str $string is rw ) our Char multi P5emul::Str::p5chop ( Str *@strings = ($+_) is rw )Trims the last character from
$string, and returns it. Called with a list, it chops each item in turn, and returns the last character chopped.
our Int multi P5emul::Str::p5chomp ( Str $string is rw ) our Int multi P5emul::Str::p5chomp ( Str *@strings = ($+_) is rw )Related to
p5chop, only removes trailing chars that match /\n/. In either case, it returns the number of chars removed.
our Str method Str::chomp ( Str $string: )Returns string with newline removed from the end. An arbitrary terminator can be removed if the input filehandle has marked the string for where the "newline" begins. (Presumably this is stored as a property of the string.) Otherwise a standard newline is removed.Note: Most users should just let their I/O handles autochomp instead. (Autochomping is the default.)
our List multi Str::words ( Rule $matcher = /\S+/, Str $input = $+_, Int $limit = inf ) our List multi Str::words ( Str $input : Rule $matcher = /\S+/, Int $limit = inf )
