Re: Method/attribute chaining

Hi,

I have seen similar weirdness and added a couple of tests over the
weekend, whilst simultaneously forgetting to mention it on IRC:

class Foo {
  method noargs () { 42 }
  method callsmethod2 { .noargs(); }
}

 $val = $foo.callsmethod2()

dies. (t/oo/method/instance.t)

It appears to be something to do with whether the methods are declared
with brackets (method callsmethod2 versus method callsmethod2()).

Maybe this is related.

Cheers

Ade
