I also think, this is fine as it is. Since the (very short) shell script "perl6-m" is unchanged, there is no problem in copying it to "perl6". As jnthn pointed out, the actual execution of ./perl6-m happens only after building the settings. I'm closing this ticket now. Please reopen if I overlooked something.
