There was socket behavior change between 2012.11 and 2012.12.

For example sending euro sign through sockets

perl6 -e 'my $listener = IO​::Socket​::INET.new( localhost => "", localport => 8080, :listen ); while my $connection = $listener.accept( ) { $connection.send( "\x[20ac]\r\n" ); $connection.close( ); }'

On 2012.11 works
perl6 -e 'my $client = IO​::Socket​::INET.new( host => "localhost", port => 8080 ); my $inc = $client.get; say $inc.uc'
�

On 2012.12 breaks
perl6 -e 'my $client = IO​::Socket​::INET.new( host => "localhost", port => 8080 ); my $inc = $client.get; say $inc.uc'
Invalid operation on binary string
