Interesting failure mode.
That semicolon looks unnecessary but harmless to me. (It's of the
"statement-ending" kind, not the "statement-separating" kind that Perl usually
uses.) I wonder if it couldn't be possible to parse it correctly, but warn
about "useless semicolon".
As a further data point, Perl 5 also parsefails on the corresponding code:
$ perl -Mstrict -wE'for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++;) { say $i }'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "++;"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
