Subject: block.call

Hello gurus,

please see the code below, why passing a block to a function then call
block.call in the function will get success, but run block.call out of
a function will get failed?


irb(main):023:0* def myhi(&block)
irb(main):024:1>   block.call
irb(main):025:1> end
=> nil

irb(main):026:0> myhi { puts "hi welcome" }
hi welcome
=> nil

irb(main):027:0> { puts "hi welcome" }.call
SyntaxError: (irb):27: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting
keyword_do or '{' or '('
{ puts "hi welcome" }.call
        ^
(irb):27: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting $end
{ puts "hi welcome" }.call
                     ^
        from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
