No it is not :) BUT it depends what is your current drive/volume. In this example I was running script on drive Z: Any how.. I don't know if this is really a bug now, because on the documentation it says clearly https://docs.perl6.org/routine/dirname that IO.dirname excludes the volume. So if this is the case then I just need to check if IO.volume is defined and add that to path before calling IO.absolute. Though it would be nice if I shouldn't need to do that when writing this kind of cross platform code :)
