Sounds like what you really want is .parent ( https://docs.perl6.org/type/IO::Path#method_parent ): E:\>perl6 -e "my $path = 'c:\foo\bar\file.txt'.IO; $path.parent.say; $path.parent.absolute.say" "c:\foo\bar".IO C:\foo\bar There's also related method .add ( https://docs.perl6.org/type/IO::Path#method_add ) .basename is as you say, it returns the basename (as a Str) without the volume, so when you convert it to IO again and .absolute it, it uses whatever drive you're on to make up the full path. The shown behaviour is correct, so I'll close the ticket. If you're still having issues, you can join our support chat and ask for help: https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#perl6 Cheers, ZZ
