I had intended to send this 2 months ago (whoops) but got buried in inbox... This from a discussion on p6-users ( http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.users/2016/01/msg2495.html): On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 2:07 PM, Brandon Allbery <allber...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 2:42 PM, Carl Mäsak <cma...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> my %h; say 'false' if !%h<a>:exists; >> > Unexpected named parameter 'exists' passed > > By the way, is it me or would it be a lot more appropriate and helpful if > this error said *what* it was passed to? As it turns out, while one would naïvely expect :exists to have been applied to postcircumfix:<< < > >>, it was in fact applied to prefix:<!>. Quite a bit of confusion would have been avoided if the error had said so. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
