NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::Transformer::Variables::FormatSpecialVariables - Format special variables such as @ARGV

AFFILIATION

This Transformer is part of the core Perl::ToPerl6 distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Perl6 renames many special variables, this changes most of the common variable names, including replacing some of the more obscure variables with new Perl6 equivalent code:

@ARGV --> @*ARGS
@+    --> (map {.from},$/[*])

Other variables are no longer used in Perl6, but will not be removed as likely they have expressions attached to them. These cases will probably be dealt with by adding comments to the expression.

Transforms special variables outside of comments, heredocs, strings and POD.

CONFIGURATION

This Transformer is not configurable except for the standard options.
