Ball's in your court again. :-) The obvious problem here is certainly easy to fix by stricter syntax, but in thinking about the fix I've already found a few more ambiguities..

That's Perl 5. We're talking about Perl 6, right? Unquoted here-docs are no longer allowed, so to prevent ambiguity with <<>>, the new qw(). Please see: http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-documentation@perl.org/msg00511.html	[reply]
