Re: Handing over control
And the "exit" should be redundant in that case.

Re: Handing over control
But this:
perl6 -e 'shell("vim sample"); exit'
behaves acceptably.

Re: Handing over control
fork/exec is a Unix-specific idiom.
shell throws (well, produces a Failure that is thrown when sunk), so you
don't need the exit.

Re: Handing over control
Is Windows really that brain-dead? Pity it has to sabotage everyone else.
This invokes vim successfully, but leaves an ugly error message around:
perl6 -e 'exit shell("vim sample")'
No such method 'Int' for invocant of type 'Proc'
in block at -e line 1

Re: Handing over control
It's not basic: Windows doesn't have it at all, it has to be simulated. The intent is that system dependent things like that should be external to the core.

Re: Handing over control
Thanks for the reply. That didn't show up with any search string I could contrive. It's disappointing to lose a basic ability like handing over control to another program.

Handing over control
In Perl 5, a program can hand over control to another with exec: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/exec.html e.g perl -e 'exec vim' opens up vim What's the Perl 6 equivalent?
