<mudguts> Last question (I hope) - Is there something like indirect
object syntax that allows one to lead with a method name?
<RabidGravy> in summary, no
<masak> waitwait, there *is* such a syntax.
<mudguts> still here
<masak> m: say abs -42:
<camelia> rakudo-moar df0c3a: OUTPUT«===SORRY!=== Error while
compiling /tmp/S8JDkgecAd␤Confused [...]
<masak> though maybe I don't *know* the syntax... :)
* masak checks S12
<masak> m: class C { method close { say "OH HAI" } }; my $handle =
C.new; close $handle:;
<camelia> rakudo-moar df0c3a: OUTPUT«OH HAI␤»
<masak> there you go.
<masak> I'm not sure why the abs example above didn't work.
<masak> S12:298, fwiw.
<TimToady> m: say abs -42: ;
<camelia> rakudo-moar f1fa64: OUTPUT«42␤»
<TimToady> masak: it's just an EOF anomaly
<moritz> m: say abs -42:;
<camelia> rakudo-moar f1fa64: OUTPUT«42␤»
<moritz> m: say abs -42:
