===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/zefram/tmp/EVAL_0
Two terms in a row
at /home/zefram/tmp/videosubs/EVAL_0:1
------> slip^$(2, 3, 4)
expecting any of:
infix
infix stopper
statement end
statement modifier
statement modifier loop
This arises from the algorithm of prefixing "slip" to a List deparse,
another problem with which I reported in [perl #126902]. The fix that I
proposed there would kind-of fix this one: "$(2,3,4).Slip" does yield a
Slip object, but loses the Scalar aspect represented by the "$". I don't
think that difference is important in deparsing, but since List.perl goes
to the trouble of emitting the "$" in the first place, maybe I'm wrong
about that. If it's important, Slip.perl will have to handle it itself.
