$ svn info | grep Revi
Revision​: 29734
$ ./perl6 -e 'return'
No exception handler and no message

This error message is strange, needlessly exposes internals, and
doesn't say where the error occurred. It could be more like Perl 5's
error message​:

$ perl -e 'return'
Can't return outside a subroutine at -e line 1.

Getting rakudo to do "Can't return outside a subroutine" is probably
not too difficult, reporting the line number needs some work
(see RT #​53082 and #​43269).

I suspect that PCT will end up implementing a setfile/setline
workaround, and that really should happen as part of the PGE
refactor (so we can efficiently compute line numbers to be
stored in the generated code).

Rakudo now says​:

$ perl6 -e "return"
Can't return outside a routine
in Main (<unknown>​:1)

(Generalized subroutine to routine, since we also have method and
submethod in Perl 6.)

Thanks,

We're back to the bad error message​:

$ perl6 -e 'return'
No exception handler and no message

Reopening ticket.

From @thundergnat

Seems to be working correctly in rakudo 2010.11.

This is Rakudo Perl 6, version 2010.11 built on parrot 2.10.1
RELEASE_2_10_1-679-g9bec614

Locally, executing​:

perl6 -e "return"

simply returns with no message.

From @moritz

Now says​:
Attempt to return outside of any Routine

which seems pretty good to me.
