Looking at test reports from testers.perl6.org ugexe++ found a bug with pipe() on FreeBSD. It looks like closing the returned handle happens too early, as shown by the third of following commands: $ perl6 -e 'my $cmd = "/usr/bin/false"; say shell("$cmd")' ## expected result Proc::Status.new(exit => 1, pid => Any, signal => 0) $ perl6 -e 'my $cmd = "/usr/bin/false"; my $handle = pipe("$cmd", :r); sleep 2; say $handle.close' ## same Proc::Status.new(exit => 1, pid => Any, signal => 0) $ perl6 -e 'my $cmd = "/usr/bin/false"; my $handle = pipe("$cmd", :r); say $handle.close' ## wrong Proc::Status.new(exit => 0, pid => Any, signal => 0) On a linux box it's 'exit => 1' in all three cases. Panda currently uses a command like this for it's test and build reports. Panda issue 130 (https://github.com/tadzik/panda/issues/130) hase some more context. I've tested the above with rakudo.moar only.
