Shouldn't that be just =$*IN ?

$ ./perl6 -e 'say =<>' # doesn't work
-1

That is used as an example in S04, so it should work.

Times have changed and not anymore.

$ ./perl6 -e 'say =$*IN'
prefix​:<=> has been superseeded by $handle.lines and $handle.get

$*IN.lines seems to work and yes I am hoping someone will fix the
spelling of superseded in src/classes/IO.pir.

$ ./perl6 -e 'say =<>' # doesn't work

I couldn't find <> as a Perl 6 IO example in S04 at this time. It is
mentioned as a Perl 5 IO example which is translated to the lines
function consistent with the behavior above.

So I am not quite sure what =<> should be doing with list quoting but
it may now be acceptable for it not to do IO.
