I'm working in a firewalled environment today where I can't get access to git, so here's what I see in 2009-07 downloaded from http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/downloads S12 says: "The .^methods method returns method-descriptors containing: name the name of the method signature the parameters of the method as the coercion type of the method multi whether duplicate names are allowed do the method body" That doesn't tell me exactly what I'm looking for, but I tried: > say Str.^methods[0] sprintf Which looks suspiciously like a single string, but just in case, I tried: > say Str.^methods[0]<signature> get_pmc_keyed() not implemented in class 'Sub' in Main (<unknown>:1) > say Str.^methods[0].^signature Method 'signature' not found for invocant of class 'P6metaclass' > say Str.^methods[0].signature No signature found That last one looks more promising, but still not quite as advertised. Oddly enough if I try another one of the "descriptors" listed, it gets stranger: > say Str.^methods[0].name pred eh? The rest of the names (as, multi, do) don't seem to exist at all. I expect that this is because I'm not actually looking at a "descriptor" at all, but rather a Sub object that stringifies itself to "sprintf". Is that a bug in Rakudo or S12?
