So, in this bug report we will be attempting to read $*IN when we are already reading it because of the -n flag. $*IN.get() hangs if the file is listed as an argument, but does not hang if it is piped Command: perl6 -ne 'say $*IN.get' /etc/passwd Or perl6 -ne 'say $*IN.lines' /etc/passwd Result: (nothing, it hangs!) Interestingly, it does not hang if instead of listing the files you actually pipe something: Command: perl6 -ne 'say $*IN.get' < /etc/passwd Result: (prints a bunch of stuff) Now, obviously, it is a little bit weird for the user to try to read from $*IN when -n flag is in place, but there is at least one documented case of accidental use :) http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-05-01#i_12416462 Also, since it does not hang if proper STDIN is present, I think that it should work.
