You're missing `-e` here, it should be

For further clarification, the `.` after `-I` indicates the directory
that is being added to the paths Perl 6 checks for libraries that are
being used. Hence the `.` is needed to indicate the current directory.
I'm not sure if `-I` arguments get appended or prepended to the list of
paths.
The `-e` is for the expression that is to be run. Otherwise, it'll try
to open the argument as if it were a filename, which is why you get the
"no such file or directory" error.
Indeed! Thank you! I am putting this in my Keepers one liner file!
perl6 -I. -MRunNoShell -e '( my $a, my $b ) = RunNoShell("ls"); say $a;'
And it does not like the -e until after the I and the M
