According to [1], although we're considering other names for the Perl 6 on Parrot compiler (so that we can refer to it without some ambiguity), the executable binary will likely continue to be named "perl6". I agree with Larry that there should be some consistency in the invocation syntax across the available implementations (and he's currently working on that).
