Hi Gianni, I'm not sure of the Perl5 case, but what you're saying is, if your target string is backslashed, be sure to "quote-interpolate it" in Perl6? (see below):
say matching_chars( '+/][', 'Apple ][+//e' ); # says (｢][+//｣) say matching_chars( '+\/\]\[', 'Apple ][+//e' ); # says (｢][+//｣) say matching_chars( '+/][', 'Apple \]\[+\/\/e' ); # (｢]｣ ｢[+｣ ｢/｣ ｢/｣) say matching_chars( '+\/\]\[', 'Apple \]\[+\/\/e' ); # (｢\]\[+\/\/｣) #say matching_chars( '+/][', q'Apple \]\[+\/\/e' ); # says error say matching_chars( '+/][', q/ Apple \]\[+\/\/e / ); # says (｢]｣ ｢[+//｣) #say matching_chars( '+/][', q:b'Apple \]\[+\/\/e' ); # says error say matching_chars( '+/][', q:b/ Apple \]\[+\/\/e / ); # says (｢][+//｣) say matching_chars( '+/][', "Apple \]\[+\/\/e" ); # says (｢][+//｣) HTH, Bill.
