Error "Unexpected block after expression"

[agentzh]

I ran into a compile-time error while trying to compile my simple Perl 6 calculator script below:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agentzh/perl-parsing-library-benchmark/master/calc-Rakudo.p6

I'm using the latest master of Perlito as of this writing (commit b22ea5125cf9b0ae934caa163a942e28cf96360b).

Rakudo perl6 compiles the script quite right. Am I running into anything that is not currently supported by Perlito? I hope the error message could have been more friendly :) Thanks!

Yes, you are using unimplemented features.

There are 2 problems:

• Perlito6 implements an old Perl6 specification;
• Perlito6 grammars are pretty simple.

The development of Perlito has been focusing on implementing a "Perl5". A lot of stuff needs to be done in the Perl6 subproject.

Here is a Perl6 grammar as it currently works in Perlito6 - you can see it uses a limited set of constructs, and you might find some expressions that are now obsolete in Perl6:
