… Wait, you can use colons in variable names?… Anyway: Code: my $foo:::_ = 42; say $foo_:::_ Result: ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e Variable '$foo_:_' is not declared. Did you mean '$foo:::_'? at -e:1 ------> my $foo:::_ = 42; say ⏏$foo_:::_ Well, yes, I meant '$foo:::_'. In fact, that's exactly what I wrote.
