%description
The Perl6::Placeholders module lets you try out the new Perl 6 implicit
parameter specification syntax in Perl 5.

Perl 6 reserves all variables of the form '$^name' or '@^name' or '%^name'
as "placeholders" that can be used to turn regular blocks into subroutine
references.

Any block containing one or more such placeholders is treated as a
reference to a subroutine in which the placeholders are replaced by the
appropriate number and sequence of arguments.

That is, the expression:

# Perl 6 code
        $check = { $^a == $^b**2 * $^c or die $^err_msg };

is equivalent to:

# Perl 6 code
        $check = sub ($a, $b, $c, $err_msg) {
            $a == $b**2 * $c or die $err_msg
        };

This could then be invoked:

# Perl 6 code
        $check.($i,$j,$k,$msg);

It is also be possible to interpolate an argument list into a static
expression like so:

# Perl 6 code
        { $^a == $^b**2 * $^c or die $^err_msg }.($i,$j,$k,$msg);

The placeholders are sorted UTF8-abetically before they are used to create
the subroutine's parameter list. Hence the following:

# Perl 6 code
        @reverse_sorted = sort {$^b <=> $^a} @list;

works as expected. That is, it's equivalent to:

@reverse_sorted = sort sub($a,$b){$b <=> $a}, @list;
