Hi Dana,

I've managed to run your example script on both the latest rakudo built from git, plus rakudo star 2010.07.

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:


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

Produces:

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

So I think it's got something to do with the input data or the line separators. Maybe the cut-and-paste introduced something?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
