Hi kcott,

Assuming the version number refers to a date (YYYY.MM), it looks like my copy of Perl6 is about 18 months old: perhaps the behaviour you describe is new.

Yes, the version number refers to the date (year and month).

With the latest available version of Rakudo Star / Perl 6:

This is Rakudo version 2017.07 built on MoarVM version 2017.07
implementing Perl 6.c.
[download]

I obtain exactly the same results as yours, with the presence or absence of a new line apparently making no difference to the output; and with the subroutine call stack in the output when die is called from a subroutine.

I may also have missed holli's point, but I can't see a difference.

And the documentation (https://docs.perl6.org/routine/die) says nothing on that.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• 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.
