Hi,

context is :
MBP running macOS Sierra 10.12.6
RakudoStar dmg installed
This is Rakudo version 2017.07 built on MoarVM version 2017.07
implementing Perl 6.c.

When executing the following commands under REPL, i got that issue :

sub postfix​:<€> (Int $n) {2*$n};
sub postfix​:<€> (Int $n) { #`(Sub+{Precedence}|140257667062944) ... }
say 21€
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling​:
Bogus postfix
------> say 21⏏€
  expecting any of​:
  infix
  infix stopper
  postfix
  statement end
  statement modifier
  statement modifier loop

Running the same statements into a script is working fine :
#!/usr/bin/env perl6

sub postfix​:<€> (Int $n) {2*$n}

say 21€;

./operators.pl6
42

This appears to be forgetfulness of the REPL from one input to the next. If you put it on the same line, it *does* work​:

sub postfix​:<€> (Int $n) {2*$n}; say 42€
84

So this boils down to a much more generic issue, for which we already have tickets I believe.

Further datapoints​:

$ perl6
To exit type 'exit' or '^D'

sub postfix​:<€> (Int $n) {2*$n}; say 42€
84
say postfix​:<€> (42)
84

So, the sub *does* survive from one call to the next. It only loses the grammar adaptations that defining a sub postfix​:<> do.

From @lefth

The following code works fine if run in a script or with `perl6 -e '...'`,
but fails when run in the REPL​:

class KG { has $.amount; }
sub postfix​:<kg>(Numeric $amount) { KG.new(​:$amount); }
say 10kg;

# Output from perl6 -e​:
# KG.new(amount => 10)

# Output from the REPL is​:
# ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling​:
# Confused
# ------> say 10⏏g;

Interestingly, if a postfix operator like this is exported by a module
which is loaded by the REPL, the REPL can successfully parse that operator
just once, after which it will fail with an error similar to the above.
