It's mentioned in the page about subscripts: https://docs.perl6.org/language/subscripts#Multiple_dimensions (it's not easy to find, though, unless you know already that it's there) The method seems to be:: multi sub postcircumfix:<[; ]>(\SELF, @indices) and its adverbial variants. This works:: my %section = ( a => %( b => %( c => 1 ) ) ); my @path = «a b c»; say postcircumfix:<{; }>(%section,@path); and prints ``(1)`` (the return value is a list) From a quick look through ``Perl6/Grammar.nqp`` and ``Perl6/Actions.nqp``, I think that the semicolon is special-cased by the compiler, so the slightly ugly way above (call the operator directly) is probably the only way that works. -- Dakkar - <Mobilis in mobile> GPG public key fingerprint = A071 E618 DD2C 5901 9574 6FE2 40EA 9883 7519 3F88 key id = 0x75193F88
