$ perl -e 'print "OH HAI\n";' -e 'print "OH BAI BAI\n"'
OH HAI
OH BAI BAI

$ perl6 -e 'print "OH HAI\n";' -e 'print "OH BAI BAI\n"'
OH BAI BAI

So Perl 6 doesn't behave like Perl 5 (and sed and lots of other
programs accepting the -e option). S19​:427 even says that chaining -e
options together should work.

Behavior has changed​: rakudo is now running the first -e, not the last​:

$ ./perl6 -e 'print "OH HAI\n";' -e 'print "OH BAI BAI\n"'
OH HAI

I have found the tests in S19-command-line-options/01-multiple-e.t and they don't pass. The PR is thus not yet ready to be merged.

From @usev6

Recently there was a change in the S19-commandline design document (Raku/old-design-docs@8f8c84034c) and now -e <program> stops option processing.

So the following is now expected behaviour

$ perl6 -e 'print "OH HAI\n";' -e 'print "OH BAI BAI\n"'
OH HAI

$ perl6 -e 'say @​*ARGS' -e 'print "OH BAI BAI\n"'
-e print "OH BAI BAI\n"

Since there is a passing test for -e working as a stopper in S19-command-line/dash-e.t I'm closing this ticket now. In case I overlooked something and there is still an issue, please reopen the ticket.

@usev6 - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
