note snoopy Hi Dana, <p> I've managed to run your example script on both the latest rakudo built from git, plus rakudo star 2010.07. <p> I do notice however, that as soon as I put a blank line anywhere in the input file, I get the same error message as you: <code> Beth Ana Charlie Dave Ana vs Dave | 3:0 Charlie vs Beth | 3:1 Ana vs Beth | 2:3 Dave vs Charlie | 3:0 Ana vs Charlie | 3:1 Beth vs Dave | 0:3 </code> Produces: <code> snoopy@snoopy-laptop:~/git/rakudo$ ./perl6 /tmp/score.p6 Method 'split' not found for invocant of class '' in <anon> at line 12:/tmp/score.p6 in main program body at line 1 </code> So I think it's got something to do with the input data or the line separators. Maybe the cut-and-paste introduced something? 859263 859263
