in thread [Perl6] say variable in Class

Hello Ron,

thank you for your reply. I think what you mean is that $.x would be accessible in the class as part of a method but not directly. Therefore your first method will work of course but defeats a bit the idea that the object on creation reports its status. The second approach works exactly as it should. And I guess now I need to learn why. So you were absolutely right about the intention :).

Now I know what to learn, that is real progress!

Thx a lot!

    If you want to do that, then you would probably need to create your own constructor with this added feature in it.

    Or, as shown by mr_ron, you might (re)define the TWEAK submethod, which is called by the new default constructor, so that redefining TWEAK effectively modifies the behavior of new.
