Re: "our" methods?

[John M. Dlugosz]

I understand. Thank you.

This ought to be mentioned in S12. Perhaps after the treatment on "my",
explain that "our" is the default, but saying it explicitly allows the
return type to be first.

S02/"Return types":

"
If a subroutine is not explicitly scoped, it belongs to the current
namespace (module, class, grammar, or package), as if it's scoped with
the C scope modifier. Any return type must go after the name:
"

So this line:

our Capture method shape (@array: ) is export

is really the same as:

method shape (@array: ) of Capture is export

The prefixing of "our" is there to make the return ("of") type stand out.

Cheers,

"our" methods?

[John M. Dlugosz]

In S29, there are definitions like

   our Capture method shape (@array: ) is export

But in S12 there is no mention as to what an "our" method is.  It states that 
"my" is used to make private methods, and "^" to make class methods.

I think this is a doc relic and should be fixed globally in that file.
