The line "say (^10).map: { $^n * 2 + 1 }.perl" yields the error
"Parameter type check failed; expected something matching Callable()
but got something of type Str() for expr in call to map" when parsed,
indicating that the .perl is being treated as a method call on the
block. However, S12 clearly states:
> Also note that if any term in a list is a bare closure or pointy sub,
> it will be considered to be the final argument of its list unless the
> closure’s right curly is followed immediately by comma or colon. In
> particular, a method call does *not* extend the list, so you can say:
>
> @list.grep: { $_ % 2 }.map: { $_ − 1 }.say
>
> and that will be taken as equivalent to
>
> @list.grep({ $_ % 2 }).map({ $_ − 1 }).say
