> my $a = 3; my $c = \($a); $c.perl \(3) The fact that the argument in the Capture is mutable is a rather important aspect of the Capture, and the .perl isn't representing it. It's showing code for a quite different Capture of an immutable argument. This is less than awesome. Obviously .perl can't be expected to preserve the specific identity of the mutable argument, but it could at least preserve the fact that it's mutable, by emitting something like `\(my $ = 3)` in place of `\(3)`. -zefram
