9        perl6 [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       With no arguments, enters a REPL. With a "[programfile]" or the "-e"
13       option, compiles the given program and by default also executes the
14       compiled code.
15
16         -c                   check syntax only (runs BEGIN and CHECK blocks)
17         -e program           one line of program
18         -h, --help           display this help text
19         -n                   run program once for each line of input
20         -p                   same as -n, but also print $_ at the end of lines
21         --target=[stage]     specify compilation stage to emit
22         -t, --trace=[flags]  enable trace flags, see 'parrot --help-debug'
23         --encoding=[mode]    specify string encoding mode
24         -o, --output=[name]  specify name of output file
25         -v, --version        display version information
26         --stagestats         display time spent in the compilation stages
27         --ll-backtrace       display a low level backtrace on errors
28
29       Note that only boolean single-letter options may be bundled
30
31       Supported stages for --target are:
32
33        parse past post pir evalpmc
34
35       where
36
37        parse = a representation of the parse tree
38        past  = an intermediate format representing the parrot abstract syntax tree
39        post  = an intermediate format representing the parrot opcode syntax tree
40        pir   = the parrot intermediate representation
41

PARROT OPTIONS

43       To specify options to the underlying parrot VM, you must explicitly run
44       parrot; you cannot specify these options by using the "perl6"
45       executable.
46
47        parrot [parrot switches] perl6.pbc [switches] [--] [programfile] [arguments]
48
49       See "parrot --help" for a list of valid parrot options.
