Because "perl6 -c" executes code (BEGIN and > CHECK blocks as documented), this is a security concern for external code. The problem is that you probably can't parse the code successfully if you can't run BEGIN blocks. While this is currently less true of perl 6 code in the wild, it's actually even worse in potential than perl 5's ability to mutate its parser because a module can implement entire new languages. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
