Explain that ^ and : declare variables

Based on recent discussion on the mailing list (www.mail-archive.com/perl6-users@p...076.html), this commit explains that the ^ and : twiglis declare variables that can then be used without the sigil. It also provides some examples of how this can alter program behavior with nested blocks.

Remove pkg-info dependency

keutoi Is `=begin overview` part of Pod6? I cannot seem to find any documentation for it. 09:39
Hmm, So any identifier can follow `=begin` 09:41
Altreus I find pod6 far less intuitive than pod5 09:56
keutoi Are these two same: `subset A-or-B where * ~~ A | B` and `subset A-or-B of Any where * ~~ A | B` ? 12:21
moritz_ yes 12:23

melezhik Hi! I spruced sparrowhub.io/ up, adding more code examples (Raku) and clarifying connection between Sparrow/SparrowHub and Raku. I'd appreciate if Raku people tell me if it makes more sense now 18:36
lizmat melezhik++
melezhik or maybe what other plugin examples they might want to see on the front page 18:37
still fixing bugs with the front page ... plugin example get shown all , instead of only for Git category 18:39
melezhik yeah, finally fixed that ))) 18:42
looks good to me now 18:43
finally I've changed a slogan, to " SparrowHub - Raku plugins for daily $work " which is much closer to real state of the system 18:49
lizmat :-) 18:50
melezhik however it always dissonance even for me, Raku plugins ( get run as Raku functions ) that could be written on other languages :] :') 18:55
melezhik . 19:53
pisa hi,when use matach object's method: replace-with, it says "no such method"! 21:58

lizmat m: say "Some foo".match(/foo/).replace-with("bar") 22:04
