Yes, precompilation will help. Although we're not ready to make true or fake executables yet, you can compile to the moarvm bytecode file: perl6 --target=mbc --output=print.moarvm print.p6 But, this crashes during deserialization for me, so I'm not sure if that can be made to work as it stands.

Re: Finding and fixing Perl 6 bugs

AFAICT we usually recommend people report bugs via mail to rakudo...@perl.org Here's the places i could find (by targeted search, of course) that tell people to do it like that: - http://perl6.org/getting-started/ in the "side track", - http://rakudo.org/tickets/ - rakudo.org -> "bug tracker", -

A practical benchmark shows speed challenges for Perl 6

I use Perl for heavy duty text processing. A question on Perl Monks about Perl 5's handling of a large input file got me wondering how the two Perls compare at the moment. I wrote a couple of simple programs, in both languages, to write and read a 10 Gb text file filled with identical

Confused about rakudobrew and Rakudo Star

I am evidently confused as to the relationship, if any, between the 'rakudobrew' utility and the Rakudo::Star distribution. Several weeks ago, when it became apparent that there would be delays in the release of a Rakudo Star distribution with the "Christmas" release in it, I executed the
