Question #1:
If \n matches any one of the platform-specific newline character
sequences, does that mean that if I have a string like this[*]:
"foo bar baz\rfoo bar baz\nfoo bar bar\r\n"
that \n will match in 3 places? How do you tell perl that you only
want \n to match a specific newl
Answering to the best of my knowledge.

I think it's to differentiate the different namespaces (scalar, array,
hash) within the match object's hash. Personally,

Exception, probably. Perhaps the error would be something like:

Welcome to Perl 6. Where *no* variable is really a variable, but all are keys to
a hash (which is known as the symbol table) ;-)
