Yes.
S03 states:
Unary ~ now imposes a string context on its argument, and + imposes a
numeric context (as opposed to being a no-op in Perl 5). Along the
same lines, ? imposes a boolean context, and * imposes a list context.
That seems to indicate that ~$foo eq "$foo".
If however, you want $foo to interpolate to something else, you can do
that in several ways:
"hello { +$foo }"
"hello { $foo.as(...) }"
Or when concatenating:
"" ~ +$foo ~ ""
"" ~ $foo.as(...) ~ ""
