Consider this dialog: 
pugs> my %hash = ( "Zaphod" => 362, "Ford" => 1574, "Trillian" => 28 )
+;
pugs> %hash«Zaphod»;
pugs.exe: <stdin>: hGetLine: end of file

Although I have my console in UTF-8, and can paste in the double-angle quotation marks, Pugs chokes on it. I'm guessing that the input stream its reading is not set the same as the console itself. Any idea how to get it to work?

A more meta question is, is there a better place to ask about this? I didn't see anything like a message board at the pugscode.org site.

A related question: What is wrong with  say "\x{00ab}" in Perl 6? I'm guessing the syntax has changed.
