It's the same... but unlike Perl 5, there is a difference between subs and
methods, and subs are lexical by default (that is, they behave as if
defined "my sub ..." --- which syntax is legal in Perl 6 (and I think in
sufficiently recent perl 5 if you specify a minimum version in your
script)). For a sub to be callable that way, it must explicitly be defined
as "our sub ...".
Although you will run into another issue because you have whitespace before
the "(", so it will be called with one parameter that is a 2-element list.
