First of all, let's look at the code that works: my $p = run 'bash', '-c', 'exit 5'; say $p.exitcode; Result: 5 Correct! OK, now let's say I want to have the output as well: my $p = run 'bash', '-c', 'exit 5', :out; say 'Out: "' ~ $p.out.slurp-rest ~ '"'; say $p.exitcode; Result: Out: "" 0 But the exitcode is clearly not 0. It turns out that you have to close .out in order to get it to work: my $p = run 'bash', '-c', 'exit 5', :out; $p.out.close; say $p.exitcode; I think that it's fine if the exitcode is -1 until it is closed, yet I don't understand why it does not close it automatically when I do slurp-rest (perhaps it should?).
