Re: [perl #131076] [LTA] Rakudo sees Perl 5 code even if there is none (for $x(42), $x(50) {…})

Of course there should have been a "," between (list) and $othervar.

But perl5 won't accept

for $var (list) $othervar (anotherlist) { ... }

right?

So we definitely shouldn't complain, or at least we should point out the
workaround of putting a dot between $var and (list)

That *is* Perl 5 syntax, though; it looks like the schema

for $var (list) { ... } # the space is not required between the var and
the parenthesized list
