That's of course suboptimal. Here is a better version:
.local pmc env
env = new Env
.local string editor
editor = env["EDITOR"]

That needs of course some support in the inyards of Perl6, i.e. in
Parrot.

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

Perl has a general principle that, in the absence of any indication
otherwise, it should use a sensible default. This default generally
matches the most common use of the feature by new programmers. This
principle is reflected in Perl 6's design in many ways--$_, sort's
