Create a directory containing a couple of files​:

mkdir -p some/path/stuff
echo test > some/path/only-a-test.txt

Then try to list the files​:

[roam@​straylight​:pts/22 ~/lang/perl]$ perl6 -e 'use v6.c; chdir "some"; "path".IO.dir.perl.say' ("path/stuff".IO(​:SPEC(IO​::Spec​::Unix),​:CWD("/home/roam/lang/perl/some")), "path/only-a-test.txt".IO(​:SPEC(IO​::Spec​::Unix),​:CWD("/home/roam/lang/perl/some"))).Seq

[roam@​straylight​:pts/22 ~/lang/perl]$ perl6 -e 'use v6.c; chdir "some/"; "path".IO.dir.perl.say'
("ath/stuff".IO(​:SPEC(IO​::Spec​::Unix),​:CWD("/home/roam/lang/perl/some/")), "ath/only-a-test.txt".IO(​:SPEC(IO​::Spec​::Unix),​:CWD("/home/roam/lang/perl/some/"))).Seq

Note the "ath/" prefix in the second case.

Confirmed by perlpilot on IRC.

Also note that it is not only about trailing slashes.

Command​:
perl6 -e 'chdir ‘foo/conf’; ‘.’.IO.dir.say' # that works, obviously

Result​:
("/home/alex/foo/conf/test".IO)

Command​:
perl6 -e 'chdir ‘foo////conf’; ‘.’.IO.dir.say' # that doesn't, but it is 100% valid

Result​:
("/home/alex/foo/conf/t".IO)
