Thank you!

$ perl6 -e 'my $x="abcDEF"; if ( $x ~~ /:i abcdef/ ) { say "yes";} else 
{say "no";}'


yes


I figure out why I could not get that to work.  I kept
typo'ing "1" for "i".  Maybe it was leftover habit from
high school typing class where a "1" and and "i" were the
same thing.

:'(


What, that was "1" and "l".  I am losing it.

The way to add `:i` to regex without using `m` is to include it inside
of the regex `/:i abcdef/`
