Can't reproduce either of the issues you describe. Do you have a piece of code we can run that repos the problem? Also, have you seen the lexical require Upgrade Notification? http://rakudo.org/2017/03/18/lexical-require-upgrade-info/ my $m = 'Test'; require ::($m) <&ok>; ok 1, 1; # OUTPUT: ok 1 - 1 my $m = 'DBIish'; require ::($m); my $o = ::($m).new; dd $o; # OUTPUT: DBIish $o = DBIish.new
