Re: Pugs Bugs

[Stevan Little]

Larry,
Yes, I realized that my test was wrong. What I really wanted to test 
for was this:

        pugs -e "say 'foo\\'"
which gives the error:
        unexpected end of input
        expecting "\\'" or end of string
        NonTerm SourcePos "-e" 1 12
Perl5 handles this correctly with:
        perl -e "print 'foo\\'"
printing:
        foo\
I will be updating this test soon to reflect.
Thanks,
Steve

That is not a single-quoted string.  That's the beginning of a
single-quoted string.  All parsing in Perl 6 is left-to-right, without
"lookaheads" for the terminator.  (If that's what your test tests,
I apologize for not reading it.)
