hi, when running a language in interactive mode, and you declare a local variable, then this local variable cannot be accessed afterwards. This is true for perl 6 as well: my $var = 1; say $var; No scope found for PAST::Var '$var' Maybe for Perl 6 this is ok, but many other languages, such as Lua and Python, this should work. Somehow, this makes sense, when looking at the generated PIR. For each input line, a new (anonymous) sub is generated and executed. Any local declarations are local to that sub, and are lost after that point. kjs
