Rakudo's behavior has changed, but it depends on how you invoke it:

13:04 < [Coke]> r: 5.
13:04 <+camelia> rakudo b2072f: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Confused␤at
                 /tmp/ogJuVhXpa8:1␤------> 5.⏏<EOL>␤    expecting any of:␤
                 dotty method or postfix␤»

./perl6 --version
This is perl6 version 2013.05-224-g3f49bbd built on parrot 5.2.0 revision 
RELEASE_5_2_0

./perl6 -e '5.'

./perl6

Decimal point must be followed by digit

Decimal point must be followed by digit
at <unknown file>:1
------> 5.⏏<EOL>
Unsupported use of . to concatenate strings; in Perl 6 please use ~
at <unknown file>:2
------> <BOL>⏏<EOL>


Looks like we get it right in the REPL, but no where else.
