Vis-a-vis the following: http://dabe.com/misc/perl6-class_method.html ## Foo.pm class Foo::Bar { has $.var } $Foo::var = 42; package Foo { our sub x { say "X" } } &Foo::y = sub { say "Y" }; our sub Foo::z { say "Z" } ## foo.p6 #!/usr/bin/env perl6 use lib $*PROGRAM.resolve.dirname; use Foo; Foo::Bar.new; # OK say $Foo::var; # OK: 42 Foo::x; # OK: X Foo::y; # OK: Y Foo::z; ## X::AdHoc.new(payload => "Could not find symbol '\&z'") There was some discussion on #perl6 <https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-12-09> about whether the compiler should disallow such long names [psch++], or whether it should stuff it in a package and vivify it for you [jnthn++]. IMHO, as a typical perl5 switcher, jnthn's solution seems the most DWIM-ish --- and since the other alternatives offer just as much "spooky action at a distance", it seems surprising that "our sub Long::Package::name" wouldn't have the same effect. Just my 2ยข... :-D
