class X::Syntax::NoSelf does X::Syntax { }

Compile time error thrown when $.foo style calls are used where no invocant is available.

For example the code

$.meth;

in the program body throws the error

===SORRY!===
Variable $.meth used where no 'self' is available

because $.meth is short for $(self.meth), and there is no self available in mainline.

Methods

method variable

Returns the variable/method call that caused the error.
