The mode for the filehandle, it always returns Nil

class IO::Path

From IO::Path

Return an IntStr object representing the POSIX permissions of a file. The Str part of the result is the octal representation of the file permission, like the form accepted by the chmod(1) utility.

say ~"path/to/file".IO.mode;  # e.g. '0644' 
say +"path/to/file".IO.mode;  # e.g. 420, where sprintf('%04o', 420) eq '0644'

The result of this can be used in the other methods that take a mode as an argument.

"path/to/file1".IO.chmod("path/to/file2".IO.mode);  # will change the 
                                                    # permissions of file1
