I can use system in Perl 5 to run external programs. I like to think of system like a miniature "Linux command line" inside Perl. However, I cannot find documentation for system in Perl 6. What is the equivalent?
In addition to using shell or run, which replace system from Perl 5, you can also use NativeCall to invoke the libc system function.
On my Windows box, it looks like this:
use NativeCall;
sub system(Str --> int32) is native("msvcr110.dll") { * };
system("echo 42");
