[perl #78056] compiling a script to PIR makes it lose its ability to handle command line arguments

works fine directly:

$ cat args.pl
say @*ARGS.perl;
say @*ARGS.join('|');
$ ./perl6 args.pl foo bar 123
["foo", "bar", "123"]
foo|bar|123

# but beware of compilation:
$ ./perl6 --target=pir args.pl > args.pir
$ ./parrot_install/bin/parrot args.pir foo bar
[]

$

Compiled to pbc or to an executable it doesn't work either.
