Oh, now I see: you were asking that question in another thread. <<>> is equivalent to qq:ww:v as mentioned here:
https://docs.raku.org/syntax/%3C%3C%20%3E%3E#index-entry-%3Aval_%28quoting_adverb%29 and as stated here: https://docs.raku.org/language/quoting the adverb :ww splits the string into words using whitespace characters as separators. Now, being "\n" a whitespace character, your string <<aaa\n bbb\n ccc\n>> was split in three parts ("aaa", "bbb", "ccc") with no whitespace characters in them.
