I was just playing around with using a "subset" to restrict a string to a set of allowed values: subset Monster of Str where * eq any( << godzilla mothera blob tingler grendel minotaur >> ); my Monster $thingie; $thingie = 'grendel'; # accepts this as expected $thingie = 'nada'; # fails as expected, with message: # Type check failed in assignment to $thingie; expected Monster but got Str ("nada") I was wondering if there's some way to replace that error message with a better one. If there's only a half dozen allowed values I'd want to tell the user something like "The string nada is note one of the allowed values godzilla mothera blob tingler grendel minotaur" I keep thinking there should be a form of where with a CATCH that should work, but I don't see how to do it.Thread Next
