Is there something missing in the examples at the link?
Well, a bit. When I see
chmod 0o755, <myfile1 myfile2>;
I think `myfile1` and `myfile2` are "functions", not
data.
They aren't, they are a list of strings.
`< a b c >` is short for `qw< a b c>` which is short for `Q :single
:words < a b c >`
basically `' a b c '.words()`
see https://docs.perl6.org/language/quoting
So the above is really the same as:
chmod 0o755, ( 'myfile1', 'myfile2' );
Thank you!
