Hello,
I thought it would be a good idea to take the benchmarks from the Debian
language shootout and port them to Perl 6. That would test several
aspects of the language and later in the future they could be useful
locate performance problems.
I have only done *one* benchmark so far. The

To run the benchmark:
perl6 regex-dna.p6.pl regex-dna.input
On my computer it takes about 99s to run on Rakudo, compared to 0.18s
for Perl 5 (the Perl 5 benchmark is included in the .tgz file).
