The addition of the capability to do array and hash slices has cause binding of array and hash elements to fail. I decided that slices and list assignment were more important right now than binding elements of aggregates, so we've regressed there for now. I don't see a short-term fix on the horizon, as we'll have to figure out exactly how we're going to handle such bindings/references in the future. Parrot isn't exactly set up for handling this easily in a HLL like Perl 6, I'm afraid. Pm
