<PerlJam> Any reason why words("foo bar baz blat", *) shouldn't work
like words("foo bar baz blat",Inf) ?
<PerlJam> (same for lines)
<masak> I think it does.
<PerlJam> masak​: not here. I get​: Cannot call Numeric(Whatever​: );
none of these signatures match​: ...
<masak> oh
<masak> yeah, same here
* masak submits rakudobug about words($s, *) not working

Getting this on Rakudo ee36da5​:

$ perl6 -e 'say (words "foo bar baz", *).perl'
Cannot call Numeric(Whatever​: ); none of these signatures match​:
  (Mu​:U \v​: *%_)
  in block <unit> at -e​:1

The same bug exists for IO​::Handle.lines and IO​::Handle.words and the sub form of lines.

All of these should be tested.

Oops ... I forgot to mention that the bug has been fixed. We just need tests now.
