        Is there something missing in the examples at the link?


    Well, a bit.  When I see

         chmod 0o755, <myfile1  myfile2>;

    I think `myfile1` and `myfile2` are "functions", not
    data.


They aren't, they are a list of strings.

`< a b c >` is short for `qw< a b c>` which is short for `Q :single :words < a b c >`

basically `' a b c '.words()`

see https://docs.perl6.org/language/quoting

So the above is really the same as:

chmod 0o755, ( 'myfile1',  'myfile2' );


Thank you!
