$ ./perl6 -e 'say :16<1.921fb54442d18*2**1>'
3.1415926535897931

$ ./perl6 -e 'say :16<3.243F6A8885A3>'

Fractional values of any radix have been in the Perl 6 design for years, and I 
suspect Rakudo has implemented it for at least 2-3 years, if not longer.

Note that the values listed above are not "floating point" (Num) -- they're 
Rats.  If you're looking specifically for the c99 hex float notation itself... 
no, Perl 6 doesn't have that AFAIK.
