This is a consequence of MMS (and Devel::Declare) installing the subs at
runtime. You see the same in regular Perl:
perl -E 'x 3; sub x { }'
Number found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "x 3"
(Do you need to predeclare x?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "x 3"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
I'd have to use something like Devel::BeginLift to install the func's at
compile time. I'm not even sure MMS is the right spot to do that. It
might have to happen in Devel::Declare.
If you have a (working) patch, I'd be willing to incorporate it. The
repo is over at Github, in case you're interested.
