This is correct.

The hanging is caused by .perl being eager trying to generate the string that
represents the infinite list.

Same here.

[08:47:09] <[Tux]> lizmat, what, in your opinion, is the correct way to
dynamically build (1, 4..7, 9..Inf)?
[08:48:14] <lizmat> m: my @x = 1; @x.plan(4..7); @x.plan(9..Inf); say
@x[^10]
[08:48:14] <+camelia> rakudo-moar 0a8bdf: OUTPUT«1 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13»
[08:48:53] <[Tux]> but I want to use @x as a subscript in @y[@x]
[08:50:03] <lizmat> m: my @y = ^20; my @x = 1; @x.plan(4..7);
@x.plan(9..Inf); say @y[@x] # not seeing the problem
[08:50:03] <+camelia> rakudo-moar 0a8bdf: OUTPUT«1 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19»
[08:50:43] <[Tux]> hmm, so only using .perl on that is something to rather
not do
[08:52:04] <lizmat> [Tux]: yes, because .perl is by definition eager
I think this ticket can be closed.
