(CC'ed p6c and the ticket, hope it worked)
afaict the following characters needs escaping:
\ (escaping)
" (string delimiter)
$%@& (sigils)
{ (closures)
(assembled from http://perlcabal.org/syn/S02.html#Literals )
Or in Perl 6 code:
s:g/<[\\$%@&{"]>/\\$0/
Additionally some white spaces might be nice to escape, but I don't
think it's mandatory: \n, \t.
Also non-ASCII-Codepoints could be replaced by their \x... or \c...
escape sequence.
