The error I get is:

Can't locate object method "c" via package "choke"...

C<foo bar> is equivalent to C<bar->foo()>.

For example, you could do either of the following when using the CGI
module:

  $q = new CGI;
  $q = CGI->new();

You could also do:

  $q = CGI::new();

which is similar, but avoids the method lookup process.


So, C<a alpha b beta c choke> tries to call choke->c(), which doesn't
exist.  If choke->c() did exist, you would have gotten another error:

Bareword found where operator expected...
