Currently Rakudo is treating [EMAIL PROTECTED] as though it's prefix:<^> on a List, which S03 says
If [prefix:<^> is] applied to a list, it generates a multidimensional set of subscripts. for ^(3,3) { ... } # (0,0)(0,1)(0,2)(1,0)(1,1)(1,2)(2,0)(2,1)(2,2) So, Rakudo is currently seeing [EMAIL PROTECTED] as following this definition, and trying to generate the subscripts (perhaps wrongly). There's still some ambiguity in how (or if) we should support both interpretations [1], so we'll want to get that resolved before we can fix prefix:<^> here.
