Debug Printing of Strings

        if (/carrots$/) { die }

• But it didn't die! Why not?

• Try the debugger:

        DB<119> p $_;
        I like carrots

• Pull your hair out.

• Or, instead:

        DB<119> p "<$_>";
        <I like carrots            >

• Oho.

• The terminal program should have taken care of this!
