Hello,
I think that I don't understand how the 'test' argument of 'dir' works.
I have a directory 'a', which contains a subdirectory 'b' and a file 'c'; I
want to select only the subdirectories of 'a'.
Using the REPL I tried to ask the content of the directory 'a':
> my @dirs = dir('a')
["a/c".IO "a/b".IO]
> my @dirs = dir('a', test => { .IO.d })
["a/.".IO "a/..".IO]
Why omitting the test the code returns the right list, while adding the
test it returns just '.' and '..'?
If I do the same thing for the top level directory '.' the behavior is
different:
> my @dirs = dir('.', test => { .IO.d })
[".".IO "a".IO "..".IO]
Now I can see the directory 'a'.
If I descend a level, doing a 'cd a', the behavior is consistent with what
I see at the previous level.
I'm confused.
I'm using version 2018.10.
