This is a touch complex, but with the following directory layout (files
attached)

perl6-readline/lib/Readline.pm
perl6-debugger/lib/Debugger/UI/CommandLine.pm (please note it's an exact
copy of Debugger​::UI​::CommandLine but with 'use Readline;' added.)

The command-line invocation​:

perl6-debugger/$ perl6-debug-m -I../perl6-readline/lib -Ilib -e0

throws the following error from lib/Readline.pm which is not present
when I run perl6-readline/t/02-core.t or
perl6-readline/examples/echo.pl6 directly.
Of course, adding the semicolon is trivial, but the fact that the p6
compiler only complained in the presence of multiple -Ilib paths was a
revelation.

I just tried the following with a fresh Rakudo (2015.06-227-g1b537b9 on Moar 2015.06-91-gf090305)​:

  cd /tmp
  git clone github​:drforr/perl6-readline
  git clone github​:jnthn/rakudo-debugger perl6-debugger
  cd perl6-readline
  perl6-debug-m -I../perl6-readline/lib -Ilib -e0

...and the debugger started fine. Is that what you were seeing break?
