[perl #47992] [RFE] 'parrot foo' automatically finds and invokes foo.pbc

As mentioned in RT #49168, I'm in favor of a --language flag, that selects the default PBC/PIR file to run, and passes all other arguments to the ':main' sub in that file. It can also select default paths based on the options set the the configuration file for that language. Then, using the $

Exception Basics

In S04, the "Exceptions" section mentions that $! contains multiple exceptions. So what type is it? Why isn't it @! ? I says that they are thrown as a single new exception. So what type is that new exception? A multi-exception of some kind? How do you get multiple pending exceptions in th
