molecules has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The code below gives me the output 
["1", "2", "3", "4"]
scalar '1' not in 1 2 3 4

when clearly it is in the array. Am I doing something wrong? Is it a future implementation issue? 
use v6;

my @array = <1 2 3 4>;
@array.perl.say;

my $scalar = '1';

if $scalar ~~ @array {
        say 'scalar in array';
}
else {
        say "scalar '$scalar' not in @array[]";
}

Thanks!
