2010-06-29 Thread Jonathan Leto
Howdy, I have a question about @_[0] for a sub that defines no arguments. In the current Rakudo I get: $ parrot ./perl6.pbc > my $r = sub { say @_[0].WHAT }; $r.() Proxy() whereas Pugs calls it a "Scalar". Which is correct? I have looked through S06, but I can't find anything related to this.
