Hi Todd,

it looks like you have an accidental l in there: the third capture group
has <:Nl> instead of <:N>.

Changing that makes it work for me

Hi Timo,

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between "Number (<:N>)"
and "Number Like (<:Nl>)"?  What would they not be the same in this context?

My latest:

$ perl6 -e 'DateTime.now.Str ~~ m/ (<:N>+) "-" (<:N>+) "-" (<:N>+) "T" .* /; my Str $Po="$1$2x$0_"; $Po~~s/x20//;print "$Po\n";'

011319_

I stuck the "x" in there so I would not clobber day = 20.
