To expand on this: it appears that on MoarVM nqp::unlink returns the filename regardless of whether successful or not. On the JVM, it appears to return 0 for success, and -2 for non-existing file, and throws an exception if it could not remove the file for some reason. It also seems capable of removing empty directories on the JVM (on MoarVM it fails with an exception). Liz
