Seems to me there is a bug here that rakudo-star-2019.03-x86_64 (JIT).msi is trying to interpret things inside single quotes. Single quotes is suppose to mean to take it literally and no escape interpretations. And it is only the Windows version. In the Linux version, single quote do what they are suppose to do. I would report it to the bug reporter but I am not willing to deal with the guard dog. Maybe if any developers are reading this, they would take it up. -T

i'm on linux and single quotes behave like they're supposed to, and only escape a single quote with a backslash. Are you sure the issue you're having isn't with the command line or something?
Hi Veesh, This is from a pl6 file, not the command line. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
