Hmm, it's a syntax error in perl5. Maybe () is still the empty list in perl6, since it's not ambiguously something else. But I cannot tell whether (7) is list context or numeric context, so it seems like the listifying comma is needed to disambiguate, especially if it's next to a numeric comparison operator. ~ John Williams
