Hey Moritz,
Thanks that also makes clear why it works for subs but not methods. So it was
rakudo that was correct.
So there is no way to run the second method in the normal way?
class Foo {
multi method test (:$a!){
say $a;
}
multi method test (:$a!,:$b!){
say "$a $b";
}
}
my $foo = Foo.new;
$foo.test(:a('Hello'),:b('World'));
output: 'Hello'
Thanks,
Lard
