That's perhaps a bit oversimplified, since in this case the warning is
coming out of the optimizer, which is post parser, but pre-runtime.  We
could conceivably stop the -c after the optimizer is run.

That would be sweet!

Re: using run

[Theo van den Heuvel]

Hi Brad,

Ha. Now that is exactly what I was looking for. It felt a bit clumsy 
having to first collect the material in a string and then print that 
string.

This is nice.

Thanks,

Theo

BEGIN is one of the "phasers" that are used in Perl 6
https://docs.perl6.org/language/phasers#index-entry-Phasers__BEGIN-BEGIN

It marks a block of code for running as soon as possible, and if possible
during compile time. It runs only once. It's in the first phase of the
interpretation of a script, so it runs before any execution (or any
execution phaser) takes place. Execution order is shown here:
https://docs.perl6.org/language/phasers#Execution_Order

Indeed it is.  "-c" does warnings too and it should
show in "-c" too.

What is a BEGIN block?
