I've been seeing some pretty slow perl6 one-line invocations, where something like this might take 10 secs: perl6 -e'say "yellow"' This evidently has to do with this perl alias I use that loads a module: alias perl6='perl6 -Mmethod-menu' I do have a number of locations in my $PERL6LIB, and while they could certainly be trimmed down, the sheer number of them don't seem excessive to me (certainly not compared to my PERL5LIB): echo $PERL6LIB | tr ",", "\n" /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/Object-Examine/lib/ /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/Augment-Util/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/Symbol-Scan/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/method-menu/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/perl6-object-examine/lib/ /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/perl6-augment-util/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/perl6-symbol-scan/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/IntrospectP6/Wall/perl6-method-menu/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/Perl6/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/Eye/lib/perl6 /home/doom/lib/perl6 /home/doom/End/Sys/Perl6/perl6-Perl6-Tidy-master/lib /home/doom/End/Sys/Perl6/perl6-Perl6-Parser-master/lib /home/doom/End/Sys/Perl6/p6-JSON-Pretty-master/lib Cutting those locations down to just three (most of them were empty, anyway): echo $PERL6LIB | tr ",", "\n" /home/doom/End/Cave/Perl6/lib /home/doom/End/Cave/Eye/lib/perl6 /home/doom/lib/perl6 Gets you a roughly 6x speed-up: time perl6 -e'say "Saaaay..."' Saaaay... real 0m1.685s
