17:07 < pnu> Let's say i have $x='foo' how do i call foo() -- i recall
there was a syntax like $x.() or something but can't find it now.
17:20 <@TimToady> for a real code ref &$x() works
17:21 <@TimToady> for a symref, you have to use &::($x)() or some such
17:23 <@moritz_> rakudo: sub foo { say "bar" }; my $x = 'foo'; &::($x)()
17:23 < p6eval> rakudo df8662: OUTPUT«Syntax error at line 1, near
"&::($x)()"current instr.: 'parrot;PGE;Util;die' p129
(runtime/parrot/library/PGE/Util.pir:85)»
The feature is not implemented yet?
This would be nice while writing a test suite where I have the names of
different subs and methods to call. Eval workaround is a little evil and
may lead to other bugs with interpolating the parameters etc.
