Thanks for this.

Is perl6 supposed to (somewhat) work, yet?
I get:
% perl6 -e 'say "Hello, World!"'
"load_bytecode" couldn't find file 'P6object.pbc'
current instr.: 'onload' pc 0 (src/gen_builtins.pir:28)
called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1)

P6object does exist, in /usr/lib/parrot/library.
If I cd to this directory first, I get:
% cd /usr/lib/parrot/library; perl6 -e 'say "Hello, World!"'
Null PMC access in get_string()
current instr.: 'parrot;P6metaclass;add_parent' pc 119 
(runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:137)
called from Sub 'parrot;P6metaclass;add_parent' pc 241 
(runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:215)
called from Sub 'parrot;P6metaclass;register' pc 411 
(runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:295)
called from Sub 'parrot;Str;onload' pc 965 (src/gen_builtins.pir:619)
called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1)
