And this is another reason for the Grammar solution: it lets you do just what is needed, in a constrained environment so you don't have any risk (unless you do something questionable in the Grammar, but then that's on you.) On Mon, Jul 17, 2017 at 6:15 AM, Brent Laabs wrote:

I would put it in an executable example, and I already did. But here's another one, if you like. $ perl6 -e 'my $x = q; my @y = ( "qww<$x>"); for @y.kv -> $i, $j { say " \@y[$i] = \c39$j\c39" }' @y[0] = 'ls' @y[1] = '-al' @y[2] = 'Program Files' @y[3] = 'Moe Curly Larry' The last loop
