Hello all,
given this simple program:
sub MAIN( Str :$dir where { .so && .IO.d // warn "Specify the
directory [$dir]" } ) {
say $dir;
}
it works as I expect on ancient versions of rakudo, e.g., 202-01, but
it fails miserably on current rakudo:
% raku ~/tmp/test.p6 --dir=foo
Use of uninitialized value of type Any in string context.
Methods .^name, .raku, .gist, or .say can be used to stringify it to
something meaningful.

Specify the directory []
in block at /home/luca/tmp/test.p6 line 4
Specify the directory [foo]
in block at /home/luca/tmp/test.p6 line 4

in block at /home/luca/tmp/test.p6 line 4

in block at /home/luca/tmp/test.p6 line 4
Usage:
/home/luca/tmp/test.p6 [--dir=<Str where { ... }>]
Note that in the above output there is a point, in the middle, where
the wanr function has the value of the argument, so I don't understand
why it is complaining.
Is there a way to spurt a warn message in the case a parameter is not fine?
Thanks,
Luca
