Hello,
I hope you have had a good weekend. I had just downloaded the April
development release, and was experimenting with Perl 6 classes when I found
that I could not use the 'say' subroutine from within a method declared in a
role. I found this as bug #74078.
I then tried several other built in functions, and they suffered similar
fates. I did not immediately find any tickets that matched the others, though
I could have missed. I have included some example code below.
Hopefully this is helpful. Even if it is not, I would like to thank you for
your efforts. Have a good week.

use v6;
our &s = &say;
our &p = &print;
our &o = &open;
our &sl = &sleep;
role Howdy {
method sayHowdy {
# say 'Howdy!'; # does not work
# print "Howdy!\n"; # does not work
p "Howdy!\n"; # works
# s 'Howdy!'; # works
# my $file = open('hello.p6'); # does not work
my $file = o('hello.p6'); # works
# sleep(1); # does not work
sl(1);
}
}
class Greet does Howdy {
method sayHi {
say 'Hi!';
# print "Hi!\n"; # works
# my $file = open('hello.p6'); # works
#sleep(1); #works
}
}
#my $file = open('hello.p6'); # works
my $nod = Greet.new();
#sleep(1); # works
$nod.sayHowdy();
