I'm wrong then. Nowhere on that reference page does the character
construction "<{...}>" (block wrapped in angle brackets) appear.Per your reference, "pointy-blocks" seems to refer to an arrow in conjunction with a block, as mentioned three times on the 'Python-to-Perl6' page: https://docs.perl6.org/language/py-nutshell Nota bene: the opposite character construction (angle brackets wrapped in a block) DOES appear on your reference page--it's used to create a Capture. sub b { <a b c>.Capture }; put b.perl; # OUTPUT: «\("a", "b", "c")» HTH, Bill. PS...While I've been able to find a reference to the code you showed with two angle brackets (quoting construct): https://docs.perl6.org/syntax/%3C%3C%20%3E%3E ...I haven't been able to find an explicit doc reference to the "two-angle-bracket" quoting construct surrounding (among other things) a block.
