Therefore, I recommend that, when given an empty program or -e
string, Perl 6 should print "Hello world!", emit a newline, and
exit. I believe that this feature would be fairly trivial to implement.
I cannot agree with this.
In fact, if someone types "perl" on the command line without any arguments, it seems obvious to me that they are intending to begin development of a script.
On the DWIM principle, shouldn't Perl then just autoload the DWIM::AI module and provide as output the script that they are intending to write ?
