$ perl6 -e '((Nil)=>1).key.WHAT.say; ((Nil)=>1).perl.EVAL.key.WHAT.say' Nil (Str) The problem is that the .perl of that pair is "Nil => 1", which parses as a string key rather than the Nil object. Parens or some other circumlocution is required in order to preserve the meaning of "Nil" in this context. -zefram
