With current Rakudo, the error message has improved, but the line number is still wrong: $ cat test.pl use v6; A::B $ ./perl6 test.pl Can not find sub A::B in main program body at line 1 $ ./perl6 --version This is Rakudo Perl 6, version 2010.07-115-g0839993 built on parrot 2.6.0 r48341

$ ./perl6-m -e 'A::B' Could not find symbol '&B' in block <unit> at -e line 1 Actually thrown at: in block <unit> at -e line 1 $ cat tmp.p6 use v6; say "hi"; A::B; say "bye"; $ ./perl6-m tmp.p6 hi Could not find symbol '&B' in block <unit> at tmp.p6 line 4 Actually thrown at: in block <unit> at tmp.p6 line 4 $ ./perl6-m --version This is Rakudo version 2017.02-167-ge114d5204 built on MoarVM version 2017.02-24-gd9e0b4e2 Is this error message sufficient?
