Thank you! I'd have hated for my echo of your knowledge to be the only tip he got, and you included a pointer to the option he needed, which I didn't try from my phone:-)

This article uses httpbin.org which is a nice service that'll take any kind of request and tell you exactly what it saw. It shows what it got as a json dictionary literal. Here's an example for your browser, so you can just click it: http://httpbin.org/anything?hello-todd-how-are-you=very-go

The first one is valid perl 6 code and the bottom one is not. It's likely you were looking at JSON (or equivalently JavaScript) and confused that with perl6 code.
