|Does perl 6 have the -> syntax?

Yes.  It's the origin.  Perl6 is even more radical to change "for"
statement to 

  for obj -> var {
  }

that means a "for" statement to take anonymous function.  I once tried
to make block syntax to

   method(arg) -> x {
     ...
   }

but felt it was too radical and abandoned.
