I've said this in other message to this thread, but it applies here as
well. The is-ro is-rw in the signature makes a lot of difference for
Perl6 because of the extremely clear split between the value and the
container. In Perl 6 it's the container that is made rw, so that if you
store another value in that container, it will modify the variable
outside the routine.
In the case of perl5 that semantic is a bit different since there's no
distinction between the value and the container. So you can't provide a
read-write scalar that is not modifying the outer scope unless you make
a copy of that scalar. Having it changing the caller variable by default
is kinda weird, hence the ro-alias default.
