WARNING:I have no knowledge to contribute to your question.

But I have a speculation. The version of, the implementation of, "Perl6" (whatever that is), shipped before 'Windows 10' became available and the test that results in the specific diagnosis that you cite is simply too specific. Ie. Instead of excluding anything it knows to be incompatible; it precludes everything not know to be compatible.

Due to the whole TDD phenomena, there is a tendency amongst its proponents to equate 'counts of tests' with 'effective testing'. The effect of that is to cause many of the indoctrinated to consider the nunber of individual tests run as more important than the efficacy of the product of those individual tests.

That is to say; 10 individual tests that test scenarios that can reasonably be expected to never happen, is seen as 'more betterer' that testing one or two things that might reasonably be expected to happen.

Hence: testing for: die '...' if $version != '...' and $version != '...' and $version != '...' is seen as a "better test" than $version >= '6.0.6001'.

Sad, innit!

Bottom line: Investigate the sources and disable that failing test, because the probability is that once you do; everything will work just fine.
