  Do note that you can use @*ARGS instead of providing a sub MAIN; though the latter will give you a usage message when you don't supply the max and if you write

  sub MAIN( Int $max = 1000 )

  instead, you'll even get a helpful error message if the user writes "over nine thousand" instead of a number.

  Also, for interpolating arrays into strings, you can also just write

  "My multiples are: @multiples[]".say;

  And another thing: I think "1 ..^ $max" looks prettier than "1 .. $max-1".
