This really belongs to perl6-internals and not perl6-language.

Modulo is currently defined for Perlint (and only with integers) and 
not for Perlnum. So once a scalar contains a fractional number,

Currently I don't have enough knowledge of parrot or perl6 source to 
submit any patches, but maybe in future.
