Perl 6 Implementation of Hangman - sub get_committer_list

sub get_committer_list (Str $dict_file) returns List { 
    my @committers; 
    my $dict = open($dict_file) err die "Couldn't open the AUTHORS file.
You must run this script from within the main pugs
directory or within the examples sub-directory."; 
 
    # Skip the intro text 
    1 while =$dict ~~ rx:perl5/\S/; 
 
    for (=$dict) -> $name { ### UNARY =
        # Capture the real name part 
        if ($name ~~ rx:perl5/^(.+?)(?:\s\s|$)/) { ### SMART MATCHING
            my $realname = $1; 
            # Remove nickname 
            $realname ~~ s:perl5/\s*".*"\s*/ /; 
            @committers.push($realname); 
        } 
    } 
    $dict.close(); 
    return @committers; 
}

err is the low precedence form of // (S03). // is especially useful as
```
	$x //= $y;
	
```
To summarize, || and or relate to truth, while // and err relate to definedness.
Next, we use smart matching, ~~ (S04 - belongs in S03), to skip all of the lines from the beginning of the file which have something other than whitespace.
we use the unary = to perform a readline operation on the filehandle.
