Code: my %m := Map.new(<a X b Y>); %m<a> = 42; say %m.perl Result (2015.12~HEAD): Map.new((:a(42),:b("Y"))) Code: my %m := Map.new(‘a’, ‘X’, ‘b’, ‘Y’); %m<a> = 42; say %m.perl Result (2015.12 ~ 2016.06): Map.new((:a(42),:b("Y"))) Result (2016.07.1 ~ 2017.05): Cannot modify an immutable Str in block <unit> at /tmp/8nf6dnM_9C line 2 Result (2017.06 ~ HEAD(05c255c)): Cannot modify an immutable Str (X) in block <unit> at /tmp/8nf6dnM_9C line 2 The significant change happened after https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/de5d9e70cbfe678d2371d284e9384f53aba1eb94 I'm not sure what the ideal behavior should be, I'm just pointing out the thing. IRC log: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-07-09#i_14846532 Another interesting point: Code: my %m := Map.new(<a X b Y>); say %m.perl Result: Map.new((:a("X"),:b("Y"))) Code: my %m := Map.new(‘a’, ‘X’, ‘b’, ‘Y’); say %m.perl Result: Map.new((:a("X"),:b("Y"))) If their .perl is identical, I guess they should behave identically too.
