Re: qx and echo question

quote the argument to run - try the below - and yes, I switched to forward
slash. My experience is that Windows accepts either slash, and forward
slashes create fewer confusing situations.

perl6 -e "my $proc=run 'dir'; say 'Exit code=', $proc.exitcode;"
perl6 -e "chdir 'c:/NtUtil'; my $proc=run 'dir'; say 'Exit code=',
$proc.exitcode;"
perl6 -e "my $proc=run 'dir c:/NtUtil' ; say 'Exit code=', $proc.exitcode;"

-y
