Consider this program which I don't expect to work (and it doesn't compile):
sub show-the-arguments ( *@args, $i ) {
put "The arguments are @args[]";
}
show-the-arguments( 1, 3, 7 );
The error message says "variadic":
Cannot put required parameter $i after variadic parameters
But another sort of error uses a different term:
sub show-the-arguments ( *@args, $i ) {
put "The arguments are @args[]";
}
This time the error messages say "slurpy":
Only one slurpy positional allowed
The docs almost almost always say "slurpy" and the uses of "variadic"
only appear as synonyms next to "slurpy":
