On my shop machine, it jumps to the next line with an
empty flashing cursor
On my office machine, it told me to install
zef install Readline
After that, I get:
$ perl6

hello World

B:\ drive dismounted

Cannot modify an immutable Int (1)
in block <unit> at <unknown file> line 1

No more hassling with `perl6 -e` !!!
