So sayeth the docs for the get_*_hll global opcodes: If the global doesn't exist, $1 is set to null. However, the current implementation throws an exception if the global doesn't exist instead of returning null. It was decided in #parrotsketch on 15 Aug 2006 that returning null is the right thing to do. This is a fairly substantial change, requiring changes to tests and compilers. -- Matt Diephouse
