FWIW, this is what I have on my MBP (2.8Ghz i7 Early 2013, SSD): $ time perl6 -e "say 'foo'" foo real 0m0.122s user 0m0.098s sys 0m0.023s $ perl6 -version This is Rakudo version 2016.09-104-gc4c0718 built on MoarVM version 2016.09-13-g34c375a implementing Perl 6.c. Wrt to Pm’s timing of perl 5 with Moose: if you actually want to have most of Perl 6’s capabilities in Perl 5 with Moose, you will need to load quite a few MooseX:: classes as well. Which cannot have a positive effect on load time. Liz
