Hi Todd,
first, please don't mix up the && Boolean operator and infix &, an *all*
junction operator.
Also consider the difference between the following code snippets:
> my$x="abcd"; if $x.contains(not "e") {say "y"}else{say "n"};
n
> my$x="abcd"; if $x.contains(none "e") {say "y"}else{say "n"};
y
Or between these:
> my$x="abcd"; if $x.contains("b" & (not "d")) {say "y"}else{say "n"};
n
> my$x="abcd"; if $x.contains("b" & (none "e")) {say "y"}else{say "n"};
y
HTH, Laurent.
