$a = +(100);
or use +($a) when passing it.

The perldocs call them Five specially named code blocks, The Camel
names them individually (e.g. BEGIN block). How about phase blocks?
They control in what phase of compilation/runtime the code runs in.

I'm doubt prefix:-:(Whatever) is defined at all, so
In my mind
perl -le 'print join \n, map { [ . 0 x $_ . ] } -1 .. 1'
and
pugs -e 'say join \n, map { [{ 0 x $_}] }, -1 .. 1'
should both print
[]
[]
[0]
But the Pugs code throws
pugs: List.genericTake: negative argument
Is this Pugs specific behavior or has the the x operator changed with
25 matches
