This is actually two separate bugs; should we split these? Match is
returning a String, not a Perl6Str. Similarly, split() is also
returning a String. Notably Rakudo's Str.pir split() definition
indicates that a List of Perl6Str is supposed to be returned.

In both examples below, I try to increment the string​:

Many of these issues will hopefully be resolved when we switch Rakudo
to using .HLL . My plan is to wait for .HLL mapping before trying
to address this directly (I expect .HLL mapping will happen in the
next couple of weeks).

Agreed (got caught up on #parrot logfile).

The latter issue is now fixed in r34324​:

$ ./parrot perl6.pbc

my @​foo = 'AB'.split(''); @​foo[0]++; say @​foo;
BB

The other issue with match objects depends on how one invokes a named
regex; I'm going to say we don't worry about that until we get a
clarification on the spec.

So, this issue seems to be fixed -- I'm assigning the ticket to moritz++
so we can make sure a good test case is in the spectest suite. After
that this ticket can be closed.

Thanks!

tested in t/spec/integration/real-strings.t, I also added the
example above as a test.
