Dear Monks,

I have a combines Perl 5 and Perl 6 question for you:

I am trying to teach myself the various ways to use Perl 6's Inline::Perl5 module.  So far so good, with one exception:

Xfce 4.12's Terminal
perl 5: v5.24.1
perl 6: Rakudo 2017.01

#!/usr/bin/perl6
use Inline::Perl5;
use Term::ANSIColor:from<Perl5>;

my $Red   = Term::ANSIColor.RED;
my $Reset = Term::ANSIColor.RESET;
print ( $Red ~ "--Red--" ~ $Reset ~ "\n\n" );

[download]
Term::ANSIColor--Red--Term::ANSIColor

In case the html code for red did not come out, it prints out red up to and including the second --

It accepts both the color commands and prints out "Term::ANSIColor" for both the red and the reset command.  How do I get this to stop printing out "Term::ANSIColor"?

Many thanks,
-T
