Why do you say that is not a method? The first line says
Sorry, somehow I managed to misread that.
So you want what I have already said twice: the accessor `self.elem`.
If you want to access the variable directly for some reason, you use
the form `$.elem`. (By the way, that shadowing is generally bad form,
and not just in Perl 6. It makes code confusing to read)
Actually, $.elem is just short for $(self.elem); if you want direct
access to the variable you'd write $!elem. Also, an "indirect method
call" would be self."$elem",
small correction: self."$elem"().
self."$elem" is an error, which is useful to catch p5 programmers who
use . for string concatenation.
