We could build a new container class to do FIFO pretty easily, but Arrays already do everything needed by a FIFO queue, so it is easier to just compose a Role on the existing Array class.

role FIFO {
    method enqueue ( *@values ) { # Add values to queue, returns the number of values added.
        self.push: @values;
        return @values.elems;
    }
    method dequeue ( ) {         # Remove and return the first value from the queue.
                                 # Return Nil if queue is empty.
        return self.elems ?? self.shift !! Nil;
    }
    method is-empty ( ) {        # Check to see if queue is empty. Returns Boolean value.
        return self.elems == 0;
    }
}

# Example usage:

my @queue does FIFO;

say @queue.is-empty;                         # -> Bool::True
for <A B C> -> $i { say @queue.enqueue: $i } # 1 \n 1 \n 1
say @queue.enqueue: Any;                     # -> 1
say @queue.enqueue: 7, 8;                    # -> 2
say @queue.is-empty;                         # -> Bool::False
say @queue.dequeue;                          # -> A
say @queue.elems;                            # -> 4
say @queue.dequeue;                          # -> B
say @queue.is-empty;                         # -> Bool::False
say @queue.enqueue('OHAI!');                 # -> 1
say @queue.dequeue until @queue.is-empty;    # -> C \n Any() \n [7 8] \n OHAI!
say @queue.is-empty;                         # -> Bool::True
say @queue.dequeue;                          # ->
