Neat. Neater, see below. ;-)

Attributes are always read only by default.
The |%$dbh does two things. The % "dereferences" (rather re-containerizes) the Hash in $dbh. The | then flattens that hash into named subroutine arguments.

Notes: The ! after $dbh, in the signature of the TWEAK method makes $dbh argument required. The colon indicates it is a named argument, rather than a positional one.use DBIish; role DB-Connection { has $.dbh; submethod TWEAK( :$dbh! ) { $!dbh = $dbh.isa(DBIish) ?? $dbh !! DBIish.connect( |%$dbh + ); } }
