The latter issue is now fixed in r34324: $ ./parrot perl6.pbc > my @foo = 'AB'.split(''); @foo[0]++; say @foo; BB
The other issue with match objects depends on how one invokes a named regex; I'm going to say we don't worry about that until we get a clarification on the spec. So, this issue seems to be fixed -- I'm assigning the ticket to moritz++ so we can make sure a good test case is in the spectest suite. After that this ticket can be closed. Thanks! Pm
