Uh. That's exactly what you're doing. You do *not* need the .Bool
there at the end. The "not" makes Raku convert whatever is there
to a boolean, so the .Bool is implicit. And if you were to check
the other way, if you had "if $foo.IO.d { ... }", then the "if"
makes Raku convert whatever is there to a boolean, so the .Bool is
implicit. You do not need to put the .Bool in an "if" or a "while"
statement.
G'luck,
Peter
