When the where clause uses the default topic "$_" then that topic has no constraint, and MAIN can probe if "--dir=something" should be interpreted as a flag Bool::True or if it should be the string "something". When the "where" clause has only $dir in the body, the optimizer can specialize it to only take Str, and then MAIN doesn't need to probe the Bool::True case. Sounds a good guess! What I am a little surprised here is that it seems to me this behavior, that has changed during time, is not well documented, at least according to me. LucaThread Previous
