I see at http://www.moarvm.com/releases.html
...that as of the 2017.03 release, Perl 6 "ignores SIGPIPE by default." I discovered this for myself when I piped a program that generates unlimited output to the head utility, and the program did not exit when head was finished. Simple example: $ perl6 -e '.say for ^Inf' | head This will print numbers up to 9, and then continue to use almost 100% of the CPU printing to a closed pipe. I haven't been able to turn up any discussion about this change. Does anyone have any insight? It's surprising and, frankly, unwelcome.
