The Perl 6 compiler can either read a programme from a file or from the content of the -e command line switch. The simplest “Hello, World!” programme looks like this:
say "Hello, Perl 6!";
Save it in a file and run:
$ perl6 hello.pl Hello, Perl 6!
Alternatively, you may use the -e option:
$ perl6 -e'say "Hello, Perl 6!"' Hello, Perl 6!
