Moritz,
You are the everflowing font of knowledge. Thanks.
However, I read the synopsis on objects and did not find the .get_value
method.
Pardon the ignorance, but what is "the MOP". I sometimes get floored by
the jargon.
I read about the indirection for methods, but how does that relate to
attributes?

There is a way to introspect through the MOP:
class A { has $!x = 42; };
my $obj = A.new;
say A.^attributes[0].get_value($obj);
It's not straight forwards, and that's actually a feature :-)
The usual way to go is through the accessors, and indirect method
calls with $obj."$name"();
Cheers,
