<masak> rakudo: my $a; BEGIN { $a = 42 }
<p6eval> rakudo 7ef386: Symbol '$a' not predeclared in <anonymous> [...]
<masak> should that work?
<mathw> I don't think so
<moritz_> std:  my $a; BEGIN { $a = 42 }
<p6eval> std 29276: ok 00:01 106m␤
<moritz_> ng: my $a; BEGIN { $a = 42 }
<p6eval> ng 7fc485: sh: ./perl6: No such file or directory␤
<masak> moritz_: oh yeah, ng doesn't work.
<masak> in p6eval, that is.
<masak> it works fine locally. :)
<masak> and it accepts that oneliner.
