I think you'll need to provide a better explanation of what you're trying
to accomplish. I can think of lots of ways to do useful things with the
output of dir(), but have no idea which one(s) you need.
I wanted to loop through entries as an exercise. Although this
is not really necessary with `indir` as you can ask directly
if something is in a directory.
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'
Thank you!
