Nowadays this gives the error message from std: $ perl6 -e 'say ord.Cool' ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e Unsupported use of bare 'ord'; in Perl 6 please use .ord if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument at -e:1 ------> say ord⏏.Cool expecting any of: argument list
I added a test to S32-exceptions/misc.t with commit https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/8f858cb654 I'm closing this ticket now.
