carlin  m: <1176079147668/815>
camelia         rakudo-moar f2488e: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Cannot find method 
'compile_time_value'␤»


That format is the result returned by Instant.perl:

carlin  m: my $x = now; say $x.perl
camelia         rakudo-moar f2488e: OUTPUT«Instant.new(<1176079147668/815>)␤»


Therefore, EVAL(now.perl) doesn't work:

carlin  m: my $x = now; EVAL($x.perl)
camelia         rakudo-moar f2488e: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Cannot find method 
'compile_time_value'␤»


psch++ had this insight:

psch    m: <2147483647/8>
camelia         rakudo-moar f2488e: ( no output )
psch    m: <2147483648/8>
camelia         rakudo-moar f2488e: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Cannot find method 
'compile_time_value'␤»

psch    carlin: i suspect 2**31 - 1 working and 2**31 not is a hint :)
