I added two tests (for parsing s; and m;) to S02-names-vars/names.t with
the following commit: https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/9cafef7ce7
As I understand this bug report, the problem was this:
doy r: sub s () { given 9 { return 0 when $_ %% 3; 1 } }; say s;
p6eval rakudo c8de2e: OUTPUT«0»
As the subject says the s; was parsed as a subroutine call by Rakudo. Back in
2012 the bug could have been shown a bit shorter:
$ perl6 -e
