So I should have said:

  %MY::{'$x'} = $z;

That's pretty magical stuff isn't it? Sorry I used the wrong syntax.
I'm just taking it from your "Perl 6 Overview" PDF slides. This stuff
changes *fast*, eh?

If I want to bind a sub, do I use:

  %MY::{'&die'} = &my_die;  # reference to sub my_die? (from slides)

or

  %MY::{'&die'} = my_die;   # magical symbol table assignment rule?

That's what I thought. Dan's not going to be happy. ;)
