Hi All,
What am I doing wrong here?
$ p6 'lib \'./\'; use RunNoShell; ( my $a, my $b ) =
RunNoShell::RunNoShell("ls *.pm6"); say $a;'
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `='
Huh ???
This is RunNoShell.pm6
sub RunNoShell ( $RunString ) is export {
...
return ( $ReturnStr, $RtnCode );
}
Many thanks,

Note that it thinks it's still in a quoted string and wants me to
continue.
p6 does not like `lib ./`, meaning use the current directory
without the single quotes. Any work around?
It needs the path, which is ./
$ perl6 -I -MRunNoShell '( my $a, my $b ) = RunNoShell::RunNoShell("ls
\*.pm6"); say $a;'
Could not open ( my $a, my $b ) = RunNoShell::RunNoShell("ls \*.pm6");
say $a;. Failed to stat file: no such file or directory
