And today is is working for me as well without
a problem. I must have had something else wrong
taht I did not recognize. So false alarm.
Here's the whole program:
use v6.d;
say @*ARGS.raku;
if @*ARGS.elems > 0 && "@*ARGS[0]".lc eq "debug" {
say 'got' }
and at the terminal:
$ raku todd-test.raku debug --debug=50
["debug", "--debug=50"]
got
FWIW
why are you quoting ARGS? The .lc coerces to string anyway.
It is a habit from programming in bash. I did not even
realize I had done it. And I dp prefer Raku's
way of doing it.
why are you using && and not 'and'
See Yary's response.
why are you not using a sub MAIN with an optional --debug
eg. sub MAIN( @args, Bool :$debug=False) {
#stuff
if $debug { ... }
Because it is less complicated for what I am doing.
Thank you for the help!
