After thinking about what Zoffix said, probably what you're meant to do is: $*PROGRAM.parent.absolute Which leaves the stringification (.absolute) until last. On Sun, May 28, 2017 at 4:04 PM Lloyd Fournier wrote: > FYI: > > 15:57 < llfourn> Zoffix: is there any plan to

Re: Absolute path to directory of the current perl program

Nice. I think this would be a good addition to the docs :) You can also write $*PROGRAM.parent.parent.parent.parent.absolute; but if your relative path is too short, you might end up with a bunch of .. like this: /Users/gabor/work/perl6maven.com/../.. Gabor On Sun, May 28, 2017 at 9:10

Hi, I've just noticed that in /Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/site/bin/ I have 3 copies of every script. One with a -j and one with a -m at the end just as for zef: zef zef-j zef-m The files seem to be identical. Why are there 3 and what is their purpose? Gabor

naming a class

Hi, I've a question about naming a specific class. It is about the type Decimal128 which I need in BSON. For the moment I want it to hold a number and in BSON to encode and decode it to a byte stream. Later I can add specific operations and other known decimal types. I am thinking of the

If they are really identical, might it be an idea to use symbolic links for 2 of them? That would reduce the code to be stored, maintained, and transmitted, and make it blatantly obvious if different versions are required. On 5/28/17, Nelo Onyiah wrote: > I presume that's
