Hi All,
I presume this is failing as the current directory is not
in the "lib" path:
$ perl6 -MPrintColors 'PrintBlue( "Blue\n" );'
Could not open PrintBlue( "Blue" ). Failed to stat file: no such
file or directory
This does work, but what a lot of extra work:
$ perl6 -e 'use lib "/home/linuxutil"; use PrintColors; PrintBlue(
"Blue\n" );'
Blue
What are the rules for calling modules from the command line?
Many thanks,

Follow up, with Timo's help. Note keeper note:
Perl6: running modules from the command line:
-Mxxxx xxxx = module name without the pm6 and no space
-Ixxxx xxxx = local path to read and no space;
"./" is accepted for the current directory
Don't forget the -e
$ perl6 -I./ -MPrintColors -e 'PrintBlue( "Blue\n" );'
Blue
$ perl6 -I/home/linuxutil -MPrintColors -e 'PrintBlue( "Blue\n" );'
Blue
$ perl6 -e 'use lib "/home/linuxutil"; use PrintColors; PrintBlue(
"Blue\n" );'
Blue
