With Rakudo 0.7.0-devel r31065 inheritance works as in this
single file:

    class Dog {
        has $.name is rw;
        method bark() {
            say "$.name says Woof!";
        }
    }

    class Pug is Dog {
        method set_name( $n ) {
            $.name = $n;
        }
    }

    my $pot = Pug.new();
    $pot.set_name( 'Spot' );
    $pot.bark();

But move class Dog { ... } into Dog.pm and import it with
'use Dog;' and Rakudo is like 'Attempt to inherit from
non-existent parent class'.

On 2008-09-16 in #perl6 moritz explains that 'use' happens
(erroneously) at run time whereas it should happen at
compile time, and gives a
workaround 'BEGIN { use Dog; };' that works.

Synopsis 11 topic "Runtime Importation" contrasts 'use' and
'require' in terms of time. This request is to obviate the
workaround.
