I stumbled across a bug where `perl6 --doc` fails to parse the file if it contains inline PIR. Not just any inline PIR, only PIR that calls the 'find_lex' opcode within a method. Consider the following code: =begin pod Some text =end pod class Foo; method foobar() { my $string := 'Why does POD6 hate me so much?'; Q:PIR { $P0 = find_lex '$string' }; } Running `perl6 --doc` gives a lovely IMCC error: Use of uninitialized value in string context Use of uninitialized value in string context ===SORRY!=== error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '\n' in file '(file unknown)' line 242 The "unexpected" character can vary sometimes. If I add: self = new $P0 after the call to 'find_lex', I get two "unexpected" characters: error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '(' ('=') in file '(file unknown)' line 253 error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '\n' in file '(file unknown)' line 256 It's only under those conditions though: only with the 'find_lex' opcode and only inside a method definition. I can't understand why any non-pod text after an `=end pod` would affect the rendering of POD. -- - Kevin Polulak (soh_cah_toa)
