When running make, the following error occurs:
= UsingPerl6.a4.idx --> UsingPerl6.a4.ind =
!! Input index error (file = UsingPerl6.a4.idx, line = 88):
-- Illegal null field.
!! Input index error (file = UsingPerl6.a4.idx, line = 92):
-- Illegal null field.
!! Input index error (file = UsingPerl6.a4.idx, line = 96):
-- Illegal null field.
make[1]: *** [UsingPerl6.a4.ind] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jest/miszmasz/using-perl6/build'
make: *** [pdf] Error 2

This problem can be handled with entering build/ dir and running

makeindex UsingPerl6.a4.idx
make -I ../lib -f ../lib/Makefile

but this should happen just by running make for the first time.

To clarify, the above mentioned lines 88, 92, 96 look like:

\indexentry {!|hyperpage}{22}
\indexentry {!=|hyperpage}{23}
\indexentry {!eq|hyperpage}{23}

and ! in makeindex is a hierarchy level separator, so it looks like starting the index entry with ! has something to do with the problem.
