Thanks. Hopefully this time there will be some traction because there does appear to be a bug in Perl 6, as evidenced by this one-liner: perl6 $ ../../parrot perl6.pbc -e 'my $x = 3; $x **= 2; say $x' 3 Unless, of course, this isn't supposed to be implemented yet, but that seems strange since it's in the basic tests.
