Re: qx and echo question

So, you want to see the output as it happens, and the program doesn't need
the output, it only needs the error code?

my $proc = run 'ls';
say $proc.exitcode ?? 'error' !! 'good' ;

I got that from the examples on https://docs.perl6.org/type/Proc#sub_run -
even if documentation usually leaves you cold, that page has samples which
look simple and useful.
