They are not quite equivalent. `say $0` actually dumps the whole match tree of that capture (something that doesn't even exist in Perl 5), it just happens to be a single string in this case. Still the code that is behind it is must consider the general case. It shouldn't make such a big difference, though. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply] [d/l]
