The issue doesn't seem to be the underscore, because I get the same result even
when converting the underscore into a letter ('b'):
$ cat gentb.p6
grammar G0 {
token TOP {<rport>|<ruport>.*}
regex rport { <type>}
rule ruport { <type>}
#token type {<alpha>+}
token type {<alnum>+}
}
grammar G1 {
token TOP {<rport>|<ruport>.*}
regex rport { <type>}
rule ruport { <type>}
token type {<alpha>+}
#token type {<alnum>+}
}
my $str="scbin<foo> bar";
say "=========== <alnum> Example==============";
say G0.parse($str);
say "=========== <alpha> Example==============";
say G1.parse($str);
$ perl6 gentb.p6
=========== <alnum> Example==============
Nil
=========== <alpha> Example==============
｢scbin<foo> bar｣
ruport => ｢scbin｣
type => ｢scbin｣
alpha => ｢s｣
alpha => ｢c｣
alpha => ｢b｣
alpha => ｢i｣
alpha => ｢n｣
