What do you mean by putting the \n in the variable?
Is it anything like this? [¹]
my @a = "1\n", "2\n", "3\n";
'test'.IO.spurt(@a);
or this?
my @a = <a b c>;
'test'.IO.spurt(@a »~» "\n");
[¹] Mind that the array is first converted into a string and its elements
are joined together with an interleaving space
