$ perl6 -e '$_ = "foo"; if /./ ff /./ { .say } '
Method 'match' not found for invocant of class 'Any'
  in method Bool at src/gen/CORE.setting:8102
  in sub infix:<ff> at src/gen/CORE.setting:9398
  in block <anon> at -e:1

Conditions like "if /./ {} " works fine, somehow second /./ in flip-flop is not 
matched against $_.

This is perl6 version 2012.03-51-gcb61d59 built on parrot 4.2.0 revision
