Questions on $! (dollar-bang)

[perl #57094] [BUG] infix:= converts a PGE::Match to a Str, not a Match

Hi, After checking with the latest Rakudo, I think this issue is now resolved. We get: my $x = "food"; my $y = $x.match(/$=[f](o+)/); say $y.WHAT; # Match say $y; # foo say $y; # f say $y[0]; # oo However, this still failed: say $y ~~ Match; # gave 0 So I fixed that in 33504, and I think this
