The tests in languages/perl6/t in the parrot repo are just basic
tests to make sure Test.pm will work. Most of Rakudo's tests come
from the official test suite. Using either "make spectest_regression"
or "make spectest" will check out a copy of the official test suite
from the pugs repo and run Rakudo against those.
The tests that we currently expect to work are in the
t/spectest_regression.data file.

In this case, the issue is that we don't have a multimethod for
infix:<->(Int, Int) returning Int. It's not always obvious how
to determine what works and what doesn't, so the best bet is
to ask, either on the list, on irc, or simply send a query
to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
