But, alas, it is true no longer.  Perl 6 will now be using ~ for this (see, e.g., 
http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/syn/S03.html).  Which I personally think is just bizarre, but then nobody asked me. 
:)  I rather liked _ (well, actually I was one of those weird people who didn't see any problem with just leaving it as 
., but that was never really an option).
