Hi All,

Fedora 44
RakudoPkgFedora44-06.01.x86_64.rpm


I am scrubbing through a web page looking for a release version.

This is the lime in question with the release:

<li data-item-id="release-v0.10.14" data-targets="nav-list.items" 
data-view-component="true" class="ActionListItem">

This works:
    $NewRev ~~ s:i/ .*? 'release-v' //;

This hangs the program:
    $NewRev ~~ s:i/ .*? $( Q[release-v] ) //;


My fault or program bug?   (My fault I can fix.)


Yours in Confusion,
-T
