in reply to perl6 and compiling scripts

Given that for "better" all we have to do is make it work, I don't think you'll find it a problem. I don't know that you'll find much of a speed win over the JIT, though.

    I don't know about that. On slow systems (and specificly, memory-starved ones), not having to compile every time will greatly speed up the overall running process on many scripts. More importantly, perhaps, it will make things like palm perl more doable and more usable.

    Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.
