^^^ Can't modify constant item
Sometimes variables are read-only, such as when they are declared in a subroutine signature
or as a class attribute:
.pre
sub foo ($a) {
$a ~~ s/b/c/; # Boom!
}
foo('b');
.pre
You can make a read/write copy of the variable through assignent ($b = $a), or by using `is copy` to declare that you want a read/write copy of the variable, or `is rw` to declare you want the variable being passed in to be modified by reference.
