Hi All,

Windows Server 2025 (souped up W11)

raku -v
Welcome to RakudoΓäó v2025.02.

I am trying to see if this directory exists:
     \\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup1

This is what raku .IO.d.Bool give me:
    raku -e "say 
'\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup1'.IO.d.Bool;"
    False

But power shell says it does me:
     powershell Test-Path 
\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup1
     True

 From \\192.168.240.10, (a Samba server), it also tells me the
directory indeed does exist:

    # ls -al /mnt/LinuxServer/Backup/MyDocsBackup
    total 36
    drwxrwsrwx. 5 public root 4096 Mar 31 18:37 .
    drwxrwsrwx. 5 root   root 4096 Mar 19 17:16 ..
    drwxrwsrwx. 4 public root 4096 Mar 31 18:37 backup1
    drwxrwsrwx. 4 public root 4096 Mar 31 17:57 backup2
    drwxrwsrwx. 4 public root 4096 Mar 31 17:47 backup3


What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T
