A minimal example: echo 'unit module Foo; die; CATCH { }' > Foo.pm6; perl6 -I. -MFoo -e '' That fails with a ===SORRY!=== Cannot invoke this object (REPR: Null; VMNull)
With a --ll-exception switch, it yields Unhandled exception: concatenate requires a concrete string, but got null at gen/moar/stage2/NQPCORE.setting:840 (...path...) from gen/moar/stage2/NQPHLL.nqp:1735 (...) from src/Perl6/Compiler.nqp:42 (...) (...)
The same happens even if we catch the exception (and probably no matter what the CATCH block does): echo 'unit module Foo; die; CATCH { default { .say } }' > Foo.pm6; perl6 -I. -MFoo -e '' And it happens no matter what the type of the exception is: echo 'unit module Foo; X::Proc::Unsuccessful.new.throw; CATCH { default { .say } }' > Foo.pm6; perl6 -I. -MFoo -e ''
On the other hand, if we use 'module Foo { }' or try it in a script, everything works OK: perl6 -e 'die; CATCH { }' echo 'module Foo { die; CATCH { } }' > Foo.pm6; perl6 -I. -MFoo -e ''
