$ svn info | grep Revi Revision: 29791 There's no problem matching against an extant class: $ ./perl6 -e 'class A {}; say "mm, pie" ~~ A' 0 But matching against an undefined class doesn't work: $ ./perl6 -e 'say "mm, pie" ~~ A' Method 'ACCEPTS' not found for invocant of class 'Failure' current instr.: 'infix:~~' pc 12501 (src/gen_builtins.pir:7936) called from Sub '_block11' pc 34 (EVAL_13:17) called from Sub 'parrot;PCT::HLLCompiler;eval' pc 806 (src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir:481) called from Sub 'parrot;PCT::HLLCompiler;command_line' pc 1305 (src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir:708) called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc 14567 (perl6.pir:172) Now, it shouldn't work (because A hasn't been defined), but * The error is all wrong. The class 'Failure' has got nothing to do with it. * It feels like this could/should be intercepted at BEGIN time, just like the `class DerivingClass is NotYetDefinedClass {}` error. In both cases, it's a question of an undeclared bareword.
