That's not what `indir` does
What it does is change the current working directory inside of a block
put $*CWD; # /home/brad
indir "/tmp", {
put "in directory $*CWD"; # /tmp
.put for dir()
}
put $*CWD; # /home/brad
Also this
$ perl6 -e 'for dir() -> $x { my $y="$x"; say $y };'
can be simplified to any of:
$ perl6 -e 'for dir() -> $x { say ~$x }'
$ perl6 -e 'for dir() -> $x { put $x }'
$ perl6 -e '.put for dir'
