Bug 118705 talked about a similar looking set of bugs with the `s///` construct. This construct is a variant of, but not identical to, the `subst` function. It looks like a similar fix will have to be applied separately for `subst`. I've just filed a new `subst` specific bug report. Afaict the bug is omission of an automatically added `-> $/` signature. One workaround is to manually add the missing piece: `for 1 { say "foo".subst: /(foo)/, -> $/ {$/[0] ~ "o"}; }` »ö« ^{. o O ( "the celebrity tell-all of the Perl-6 cult?" )}	[reply] [d/l]
