io - In perl6, how do you read a file in paragraph mode? -

data.txt:

hello world goodbye mars  goodbye perl6 hello perl5 

myprog.py:

my $fname = 'data.txt'; $infile = open($fname, :r, nl => "\n\n");  $infile.lines(nl => "\n\n") -> $para {     $para;     '-' x 10; } 

actual output:

hello world ---------- goodbye mars ----------  ---------- goodbye perl6 ---------- perl5 ---------- 

desired output:

hello world goodbye mars ----------- goodbye perl6 perl5 ----------- 

...

$ perl6 -v perl6 version 2015.03-21-gcfa4974 built on moarvm version 2015.03 

this appears bug in rakudo/moarvm, going fact moarvm expects single grapheme separator instead of arbitrary string (cf syncfile.c:38, syncfile.c:119 , syncfile.c:91, shows last character of separator string used instead of whole string).

as quick workaround (but beware reads entire file memory), use

$fname.io.slurp.split("\n\n") 

instead of $infile.lines().

you should file bug report or ask in #perl6 on freenode if known issue.
