If you include statements in the body of a package, class, etc.
declaration, those are executed at :load time which happens
before :main. So, globals like @*ARGS which are set up in !
UNIT_START from :main are not yet established. All three of the
following examples should have the same results, but the middle one
is wrong. Either setup of globals needs to happen before :load, or
the statements in the package, class, etc. need to be moved out
of :load methods. I think the latter is better, since :load methods
are like BEGIN blocks.
../../parrot perl6.pbc -e 'say "(", @*ARGS, ")";' f g h

../../parrot perl6.pbc -e 'package Foo { say "(", @*ARGS, ")"; }' f g h
()
../../parrot perl6.pbc -e 'package Foo { sub run() { say "(", @*ARGS,
")"; } }; Foo::run()' f g h
