01:38 <colomon> my $out = open "02.pl", :w or die "Unable to open 02.pl: $!\n"; 01:39 <colomon> Works if an 02.pl file exists, fails with "Unable to open filehandle from path '02.pl' " if it doesn't. [...] 01:46 <colomon> Actually, just realized I'm completely on the wrong track here. One sec. 01:48 <colomon> got it -- was executing the wrong script, so that I was executing the script that didn't exist, or was a 0 byte long file. thus the two different results. 01:49 <pmichaud> Yes, I was guessing it was something like that. 01:49 <colomon> not the most intuitive error message for "your script doesn't exist", but I'd have known instantly if I hadn't been trying to write a script with another script. :) 01:50 <pmichaud> yes, we should fix that error message. 01:51 * pmichaud files rakudobug Pm
