I assume that's to select which backend to use for testing. `perl6` is just a 1-line wrapper bash script. That make target will also recompile the compiler if you made any changes to it. Very handy during development. > Testing an installation should not modify it >From `make -n test` I see that it doesn't.

You can run them with `t/fudgeandrun` tool if you don't want an automated recompilation of changes that all the core devs need. A make target can be made that just runs the roast tests. What benefits will we attain by having such an option?
