That I knew. I was looking for what exactly there were
so as to be able to assign them to typed variables. Seems
that they are an "everything" type similar to type Mu
$ p6 'my $x="11.2."; my Str $D0; my Str $D1; $x~~m{ (<:N>+) [.]
(\d+) };
$D0 ~$0; $D1 ~ $1; print "$D0 $D1\n";'
WARNINGS for -e:
Useless use of "~" in expression "$D1 ~ $1" in sink context (line 1)
Useless use of "~" in expression "$D0 ~$0" in sink context (line 1)
Use of uninitialized value of type Str in string context.
You can also just not declare D0 as a Str. " are also string contextualizers,
so
That would have been too easy.
The whole purpose of the one liner was to simulate assigning
a match to a series of variables that I had to type as Str.
Basically, I had to leave no room for the compiler to
"contextualize". It had to be a string.
Thank you for the help!
