It will be easier to track this if you capture into an array (@x instead of $x) and iterate over the contents. Or iterate directly: pyanfar Z$ 6 'for dir() -> $x { say "$x" }' debian-8.2.0-amd64-lxde-CD-1.iso lb.txt screenshotF-20161029T192446.png haskell-report-1.4.ps.gz hkcart.jpg (...) I'm quoting $x there for the same reason, to turn the IO::Path into a Str. Although arguably the correct way to do that is $x.Str instead of "$x". -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
