Rakudo completely ignores initial empty lines at the beginning of heredocs:
$ cat heredoc-example
print q:to/EOF/;
abc
EOF
print q:to/EOF/;
abc
EOF
print q:to/EOF/;
abc
EOF
$ perl6 heredoc-example
abc
abc
abc
If this is to spec, I find nothing in the spec to support it. More to
the point, Perl 5 *doesn't* ignore initial empty lines in heredocs:
$ cat heredoc-example-perl5
print <<'EOF';
abc
EOF
print <<'EOF';
abc
EOF
print <<'EOF';
abc
EOF
$ perl heredoc-example-perl5
abc
abc
abc
