こんなに出てきますが、多分、rakudo がそれなのではないでしょうか。
っていうか、perl6 のモジュール、もうこんなにあるんですね。

which してみましょう:

% which perl6
/sbin/perl6

ありましたね。
さて、へろーわーるどといきましょう。

% mkdir ./hello-perl6
% cd ./hello-perl6
% emacsclient ./hello.pl

こんな風に打って……

# hello.pl
use v6;

say 'Hello, World!';

perl6 で実行すると:

% perl6 ./hello.pl
Hello, World!

(・∀・)イイネ!!
