With $foo, an object obtained with Inline::Perl5, ｢say $foo.perl｣ gives:

    Inline::Perl5::Perl5Object.new(
        ptr => NativeCall::Types::Pointer.new(191831688),
        perl5 => Inline::Perl5.new
    )

In Perl 5, ｢$foo->{bar}｣ returns an expected value, but in Perl 6,
｢$foo<bar>｣ gives:

    Type Inline::Perl5::Perl5Object does not support associative indexing.

To be fair, you generally shouldn't be mucking about in an object's internals like that.

Also an object in Perl 5 is created by blessing a reference, and that reference can be to anything including arrays and even to a string.
