Hi, the http://docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/docs/book/pir/ch04_variables.pod.html reads: $P0 = new 'Integer' $P0 = 5 $P1 = new 'String' $P1 = "5 birds" $P2 = new 'Number' $P2 = 3.14 the first 2 are no problems, but I can't use the last, due to the following error: Class 'Number' not found TIA, Vadim.
