Wierd regex

Hi All,

Fedora 43
RakudoPkgFedora43-01.01.x86_64.rpm

This regex does not work:

          $NewRev  = $RunResult.stdout;
          # <meta name="description" content="Download drive 3.56 - Back 
up and access your files">
          $NewRev ~~ s/ .*? $( Q[Download Icedrive ] ) //;
          $NewRev ~~ s/ $( Q[ ] ) .* //;
          if $NewRev.chars > 40  { $NewRev = 0; }

Way to many characters.


But this does:

          $NewRev  = $RunResult.stdout;
          # <meta name="description" content="Download drive 3.56 - Back 
up and access your files">
          sleep .2;
          $NewRev ~~ s/ .*? $( Q[Download drive ] ) //;
          sleep .2;
          $NewRev ~~ s/ $( Q[ ] ) .* //;
          sleep .2;
          if $NewRev.chars > 40  { $NewRev = 0; }


The sleep statements were originally debugging print statements.
The above worked when the print statement were active but
not when I commented them out.  So I substituted sleep for
print and it still worked.

What the ....

Yours in Confusion,
