NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::Transformer::Variables::RewriteSigils - Give variables their proper sigils.

AFFILIATION

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

DESCRIPTION

Perl6 uses the sigil type as the data type now, and this is probably the most common operation people will want to do to their file. This transformer doesn't alter hash keys or array indices, those are left to transformers down the line:

@foo = () --> @foo = ()
$foo[1] --> @foo[1]
%foo = () --> %foo = ()
$foo{a} --> %foo{a} # Not %foo<a> or %foo{'a'} yet.

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

CONFIGURATION

This Transformer is not configurable except for the standard options.
