In Perl 6 you get list length using `elems`. E.g. for a string: > "A".elems 1 > "string".elems 1 > "".elems 1

This happens because in Perl 6 a string is also a single-element list containing the string. > "string"[0][0][0][0]0[0] string
The documentation for Str.length http://doc.perl6.org/type/Str#method_length … says "See `chars` or `elems`." I'm going to say you probably want `chars`

The string length method isn't `length` is because there's more than one way to define it. For example, it could always be 1
