I think that's still the wrong one - your missing the "Int"
$ seq 1000000 | perl6 -ne 'my Int $y += $_; END { print $y; }'
500000500000
though that works here, admittedly, my p6 is sort old
This is Rakudo version 2018.03 built on MoarVM version 2018.03
implementing Perl 6.c.
I'm a little puzzled, I'd've thought the loop around the 'my Int $y' would
redeclare a local $y each time. Instead it behaves like:
$ time perl6 -e 'my Int $y = 0;for ( 1 .. 1000000) { $y += $_} ; say $y; '
(which is signficantly faster ;-)

Oh, wait. I tried the wrong one-liner. Still, it's just "works for me":
seq 1000000 | time perl6 -ne 'my $y += $_; END { print $y; }'
