- Time::gmtime doesn't handle having an optional argument well:
$ perl6
> say Time::gmtime;
too few arguments passed (0) - 4 params expected
in method Time::gmtime (src/gen_setting.pm:1466)
called from Main (<unknown>:1)
> say Time::gmtime(time);

Note that the error message says that 4 parameters were expected, yet
S32/Temporal.pod states that Time::gmtime may only take zero or one
argument(s).
- Time::localtime does not seem to be implemented.
- Although gmtime must be called as "Time::gmtime", Time::time may
only be called as "time". I don't think it's supposed to work that way.
- Time::gmtime seems to ignore its argument. The following code:
#!/usr/bin/env perl6
use v6;
say time;
say Time::gmtime(time);
say Time::gmtime(0);
say Time::gmtime(1000000000);
say Time::gmtime(69.105);

These problems were observed on Rakudo Perl #18 ("Pittsburgh") with
revision 39599 of Parrot on Mac OS X 10.5.6.
