Um, I saw that usage in an earlier thread but didn't try it because it didn't "look right" given my experience with the ".=" operator as I'm used to it. (Note I have now seen that behavior clearly documented at <http://doc.perl6.org/language/operators>.) But I've tried it and it works (but the syntax still bothers me for now). Note that the same behavior applies to the 'substr' string method so that begs the question of why is the 'substr-rw' method justified and 'trim-rw' not? It seems at first glance that the 'substr-rw' method should be removed. Thanks, Philip. Best regards, -Tom
