Without the .git it works in the browser: https://gist.github.com/tbrowder/08e881d7f1c7a7072dc9 > I don't expect anything more than: > > 1. The offending statement. When I run your code with perl6-m (Rakudo with the MoarVM backend), I get ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/moritz/Ellipsoid.pm6 Variable '$class' is not declared at /home/moritz/Ellipsoid.pm6:154 ------> my( $classā¸¸, %args ) = @_; expecting any of: postfix Which is because my() (with parens immediately after the 'my') is being interpreted as a subroutine call, not a declarator. Somehow, this still very much looks like Perl 5 code to me :-) > 2. A pointer to perl 6 debugging. * use the MoarVM backend :-) * For runtime errors, https://github.com/jnthn/rakudo-debugger/ can help you. Cheers, Moritz
