There's a problem with your code, if any of the substitutions contains
something that looks like the placeholder thing, and if it comes later
in the iteration of the hash keys (which is randomized now) it will
substitute again. This is very likely not what you want, though.

Surely, Timo, it might happen with some data, but not with the type of data
shown by the OP (where the words to be replaced were all in the form
$(something) and not the replacements. In fact, I suspect that many other
things might go wrong with spurious data.
The point is that my suggestion was j
Could someone supply a link to a clear example of a Perl 6 subroutine
finding its own name, please?
I know there's a method, but haven't managed to produce an effective
search string for an example of its use.
That's documented here:

I should point out that the trans method has a mode that lets you pass
placeholders and substitutions and it will Do The Right Thing regarding
overlaps and order and everything.

It's supposed to be simple, since I don't need much. The most basic of
substitution is all I care about right now. I've implemented it with a
simple regex now, and it seems to work just fine. It's available as a
module[1] now, and it's used in anothe
Let's use "trans" instead of a regular expression, updating my example:
sub format-string(Str:D $source, *%vars --> Str:D) {
return $source.trans(
[%vars.keys.map: '$(' ~ * ~ ')' ] => [%vars.values]
);
}
so simple! But, it does not catch missing variables... I bet we can fix
