The SO you quote includes an operator. So that's not the problem. The SO is written by jnthn. It doesn't get more authoritative than that.
"Cannot import symbol '%?LANG' from 'Graphics::Shapes', because it already exists in this lexical scope." Your export code is attempting to export `%?LANG`, but that already exists in every lexical scope. (`%?LANG`:is the language braid -- the dictionary of sub-languages that collectively constitute the Raku language.) So don't do that. In the SO jnthn demonstrates stripping out `$_`. You need to also strip out any other lexicals that you don't mean to export. So use a `say` to see what lexicals you're currently exporting and then grep out any that you don't mean to export. Perhaps share your code if you can't get it to work. -- love, raiph On Fri, Aug 14, 2020 at 9:32 AM Stuart Hungerford <stuart.hungerf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm using the technique described in this thread > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61179586/use-haskell-like-prelude-modules-in-a-module-in-raku > to re-export module sub-trees in a project.
