I believe he was looking for a more specific answer - when would you want to use a method vs wanting to use a sub. It may be just me, but I can see methods as class related subroutines (subs with the class object passed as an "unlisted" parameter) or subroutines as classless methods. I'm not sure what you see them as or how you see them as different than subs. ________________________________ From: ToddAndMargo via perl6-users <perl6-us...@perl.org> Sent: Monday, June 1, 2020 5:49 PM To: perl6-us...@perl.org <perl6-us...@perl.org> Subject: Re: I reproduced one of the errors!
