Given the enumeration



enum NATO (:alpha<A>, :bravo<B>, :charlie<C>, :delta<D>);


it's possible to easily set a variable by literally typing one of the names, or by passing one of the values to the enum object:



my $a = alpha;
my $b = NATO('B');

say $a; # ↪︎ alpha
say $b; # ↪︎ bravo
say $a.value; # ↪︎ A
say $b.value; # ↪︎ B


Besides using EVAL and given a Str that corresponds to one of the enums, how could I create $c to be an enum value equivalent to charlie?



my $x = 'charlie';
my $c = ...
