    Hi All,
    In the following,


    $ p6 'my %x= YesNo=>0xff, OkayCancel=>0x55; my $y="YesNo"; if  %x<<$y>>
    {say %x<<$y >>.base(16)}else{say "n"};'

    $ p6 'my %x= YesNo=>0xff, OkayCancel=>0x55; my $y="Help"; if  %x<<$y>>
    {say %x<< $y >>.base(16)}else{say "n"};'
    n

    I have to use a space after $y
         say %x<<$y >>.base(16)

    or I get the finger wagged at me.

          Ambiguous use of >>; use » instead to mean hyper, or
          insert whitespace before >> to mean a quote terminator
          (or use different delimiters?)

    Is there a better way to write:
          say %x<<$y >>.base(16)

    Many thanks,
    -T

Hi Fernando,

Much prettier!  Thank you!

I would never remember to put he space in before the >>
