Currently there is no 'require' statement in Rakudo.

It should support two formats, the first one being:

require Module::Name;

will act like 'use Module::Name', but at runtime.
This can be simulated by using:
 eval("use Module::Name");

The other format is for loading arbitrary files:

require "/path/to/file.pm";

Which can be (roughly) simulated with:
 eval(slurp("/path/to/file.pm"));

Synopsis 11 also mentions an importation syntax compatible with use.
