It's unfortunate but that's the bread-and-butter of comment sections mentioning Perl (Perl 5 and Perl 6). And what's with "the most obsessive"? What's this supposed to imply?

The `when` block seems to exhibit a different behavior when used as a block vs as a statement modifier. The latter lets things falls through until it matches the most general case. For instance, given class Audience { has $.n
