The last weeks i've been in joy to implement a small vm for a

Well, of course you run the danger of making it hard for people to
recognize labels which are otherwise common across many languages, but
here's a few ways you could do labels if you need to:

Nope, Aaron was right here, since you're not trying to mutate $self;
you're just trying to return a new $self with other capabilities.

This works too:

But () is still only a grouper, so this won't do:
map { ($_ => $_) } @foo;
Does this make sense?
A lot! BTW, is it possible to distinguish methods and subs
from the toplevel, too? That little inference

I¹m only an amateur linguist, but from a linguistic point of view, there are
several related terms in this space.
The term ³subject² has many meanings in English, including ³topic². But
from a grammatical and linguistic standpoint, there are only two meanings of
³subject², and ³topic² is a distin

As I understood (please correct me if I'm wrong), the difference between

Interesting. Now, it's dependent on the use of $_. Take out that $_ and
it works fine... cool bug ;-)

The reasons I don't "use English" in P5:
* Variable access is slower
Now, I think my patch is consistent.
internal_exception and real_exception have the same problem, both write in
stderr.
internal_exception directly, real_exception via find_exception_handler.
In both case, I add a fflush(stderr) after fprintf(stderr, ...).
