This has changed slightly: $ ./perl6-m > print 'a'.WHAT use of uninitialized value <element> of type Str in string context in block <unit> at <unknown file>:1 True So, now there is an additional '<element>' in the warning. Apart from that I found the warning message not too awesome. If I understand correctly, print() can only print objects of type Str, while say() calls .gist on all non-Str objects (http://design.perl6.org/S32/IO.html#print%28%29). Maybe it would make sense to add the first point to the warning message?
