Given a path to a file in a variable my $file = "path/to/file.jpg" we can determine the size of the file using the
IO class and its s method: $file.IO.s.
Note! This site is about Perl 6.

The Perl 6 Tricks and Treats newsletter has been around for a while.
If you are interested to get special notification when there is new content
on this site, it is the best way to keep track:
This is a newsletter temporarily running on my personal site (szabgab.com) using Mailman,
till I implement an alternative system in Perl 6.
