I've been playing with an "uncommitted" op version of invoke that takes a method or sub by name like below: invoke "foo", 0 The 0 is irrelevant to the eye, but it is a placeholder for the self-modifying instruction. Upon call, invoke by name does: op invoke(STR, INT) PMC sub if($2 == 0) { sub =

Hello. I have several questions about parrot dosc. I have noticed that docs\parrot_assembly.pod is old version of \docs\pdds\pdd06_pasm.pod file. Will these files be distinguished in the future? Catalog docs\ops is empty in 0.0.13 version. Is it bug? Nick.
