Found something interesting

Syntax OK
Will execute the BEGIN {}, not just
syntax check it.
The guys on the chat line said this is normal
as `BEGIN` runs a compile time
Hi All,
Thinking about it, I thought I did not bring
enough attention to the `-c` switch in the
above command line. This runs a SYNTAX check
and stops at that. It does not run the program.
I use the `-c` option extensively to debug my
typos before debugging my programs.
When I found BEGIN actually running when all
I wanted was a syntax check, I was perplexed.
My understanding was that -c only checked my
syntax, including my BEGIN block.
This is why I asked on the chat line. Bug
or suppose to be? And the answer is that
is just turned out that way. And that is
fine with me.

Hi All,
For the fun of it, I placed a "booboo;"
in the BEGIN block to see what the syntax
checker would do:
$ raku -c GetUpdates.pl6
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/linuxutil/GetUpdates.pl6
Undeclared routine:
booboo used at line 28
Caught it. No BEGIN pop up
Then I moved the booboo to the end of the
program
$ raku -c GetUpdates.pl6
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/linuxutil/GetUpdates.pl6
Undeclared routine:
booboo used at line 11664
Caught it. And I also got the BEGIN's pop up.
Interesting!
:-)
