Nothing wrong with 'reverse', its acting exactly as specified.
'reverse' changes the order of a list. A string is considered a single
entity in perl(6), unlike other languages where a string is an array of
characters.
So in order to get 'reverse' to work on a string, it first needs to be
turned into a list. There is a useful method to do just that - 'comb'.
The aim of 'comb' is to extract what is specified from a string, which
defaults to a list of all its characters. Hence what you want is
my $str='abcde';
say $str.comb.reverse; # edcba
