r30166: $ perl6 -e '999999[1]' get_pmc_keyed() not implemented in class 'Integer' [...] $ perl6 -e '1000000[1]' get_pmc_keyed() not implemented in class 'Float' [...] So: * For some reason, a literal integer followed by an array index makes it though parsing. Is it really valid standard Perl 6 syntax? * A Parrot error is thrown once the code is run. Even if code like this gets through the parsing stage (and we can't stop, say, integers in variables being array-indexed), the error should be trapped by rakudo. * Some magical limit between 999999 and 1000000 makes the error start talking about 'Float' rather than 'Integer'. This is also the point when numbers are written in exponential form, as 1+e6. Perl 5 handles integers of much higher magnitude by default. Perl 5.8 has a simple solution to array indexing of integers: $ perl -e 1[1]' syntax error at -e line 1, near "1["
