Hi.

Documentation says that quoting constructs qqw<...> & «...» are
equivalentl. But there is a difference for this cases​:

  $ perl6 -e ' my $b = "b"; qqw<a /$b/ c>.perl.say '
  ("a", "/b/", "c")

  $ perl6 -e ' my $b = "b"; «a /$b/ c».perl.say '
  ("a", "/", "b", "/", "c")

Is it an undocumented feature or bug?

If I'm not mistaken, it is equivalent to qqww, not qqw.

We're talking about this part of the documentation, I guess​: https://doc.perl6.org/language/quoting#Word_quoting_with_interpolation%3A_qqw

According to roast, the docs are wrong. See this​: https://github.com/perl6/roast/blob/ab74762da156fa6fda5dd39281f7ffcc361d5a88/S02-literals/quoting.t#L239

From @AlexDaniel

Given that there are tests for it, I conclude that this is a problem with the documentation.

I have created an issue here​: Raku/doc#532
Further progress can be tracked there.

Therefore, this particular ticket can be closed.

Thank you for your bug report.
