The feature you're asking for does not exist at the moment. You can get the precompiled compilation unit of a Perl 6 program as a .jar with C<--target=jar>, but that doesn't help you, because it a compilation unit that can be understood by a Rakudo executable, not a jar file that can be understood by any JVM. The file at [1] is a shell script that includes the step that will eventually be integrated into the perl6 binary to generate a self-contained jar file from Perl 6 code, albeit in the simplest way possible. That is, bundle the whole interpreter and make that run a predefined compilation unit. There is a corresponding Rakudo branch Note though that the branch hasn't been updated in quite a while and might not necessarily merge cleanly against current HEAD.
