This is the best I could come up with for tail.p6: 
my@l=(open@ARGS[0]).readline();
my$i;$i=@l-10 if@l>10;
say@l[$i..Inf];

It seems to pass all tests for current Pugs svn build.

Update: After discovering that the good old ternary operator was renamed to ?? ::, I came up with the slightly more elegant solution: 

my@l=(open@ARGS[0]).readline();
my$i=@l>10??@l-10::0;
say@l[$i..Inf];

This is exactly one character shorter...:-)

Update2: I have just discovered the = $filehandle operator in list context, so, take this one: 

my@l= =open@ARGS[0];
my$i=@l>10??@l-10::0;
say@l[$i..Inf];

In fact, my@l==open@ARGS[0]; seems to work too, but, in my opinion, this should better be a bug...
