The p6 solution above has something yours doesn't, take and gather. By default (at least last week ;) ) take and gather are lazy.
Sure, take and gather are lazy. But since you need the entire list anyway, it doesn't really matter, does it? Lazy lists are nice if you don't need the entire thing - if you need the entire thing, it hardly matters.

I still don't see the point of the various Perl6 solutions. The solution you present above doesn't have any benefits of the Perl5 solution - it just uses a different syntax, not even syntax that's significantly shorter, or easier to understand (it isn't harder or longer either - just different). It doesn't score on the "see how much easier this problem is in perl6" scale.
