Hi All,.

This is Rakudo version 2020.01 built on MoarVM version
2020.01.1 implementing Perl 6.d.
I am trying to get perl to tell me if a drive letter exists
This is from Git's df command:
>df -kPT H:\
Filesystem Type 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
H: ntfs 38908 9964 28944 26% /h
So, H:\ is there
>raku "say H:\.IO.e"
Could not open say H:\.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such file or directory
And in case I need \\
>raku "say H:\\.IO.e"
Could not open say H:\\.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such file or
directory
And in case I need a forward slashL:
>raku "say H:/.IO.e"
Could not open say H:/.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such file or directory
What am I doing wrong, this time?
-T
As far as I can tell IO.e and IO.d is completely trashed
in Windows:
K:\Windows\NtUtil>dir H:
Volume in drive H is BACKUP
Volume Serial Number is 00D0-CAD4
Directory of H:\
05/15/2020 22:21 0 IAmBackup
05/15/2020 22:43 <DIR> MyDocsBackup
1 File(s) 0 bytes
1 Dir(s) 29,638,656 bytes free
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h://IAmBackup'.IO.e"
Could not open say 'h://IAmBackup'.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such
file or di
rectory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:/IAmBackup'.IO.e"
Could not open say 'h:/IAmBackup'.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:\IAmBackup'.IO.e"
Could not open say 'h:\IAmBackup'.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:\\IAmBackup'.IO.e"
Could not open say 'h:\\IAmBackup'.IO.e. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
And that goes for IO.d too:
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:\\MyDocsBackup'.IO.d"
Could not open say 'h:\\MyDocsBackup'.IO.d. Failed to stat file: no such
file or
directory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:\MyDocsBackup'.IO.d"
Could not open say 'h:\MyDocsBackup'.IO.d. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h:/MyDocsBackup'.IO.d"
Could not open say 'h:/MyDocsBackup'.IO.d. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
K:\Windows\NtUtil>raku "say 'h://MyDocsBackup'.IO.d"
Could not open say 'h://MyDocsBackup'.IO.d. Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
This gets a TRIPLE: :'( :'( :'(
And it only works slightly better under Fedora:
$ p6 'say "GetOptLongTest.pl6".IO.e'
True
$ p6 'say "GetOptLongTest.pl7".IO.e'
False
$ p6 'say "p6lib".IO.d'
True
$ p6 'say "p7lib".IO.d'
Failed to find '/home/linuxutil/p7lib' while trying to do '.d'
in block <unit> at -e line 1
Notice that it crashed instead of returning a False.
This gets a single :'(
