The right thing to do (tm) here is chdir("y"), but if 'cd' is just an
example and not the actual command, the right thing is system LIST form:
system command => @args;

Perl's systen() tries to execute an external command directly when
doesn't find any any shell metacharacters in the command line.
Otherwise, it defaults to the shell.

Hi!
I adopted the Zcode interpreter that leo posted in February. Luckily,
he did the hard parts.
I added some opcodes, README/CHANGES/TODO files, and testing, and,
finally, did my first Parrot checkin. How exciting!
There's much much more to do - 41 more opcodes just for version 3 of
the Z-machi
