Hi All,
Any sign of a fix for the 10 second compile time?
Do you know if a bug has been opened on it so I can
sign up for the CC?
Many thanks,

Does your code have a 'use lib "lib"' line by any chance? Because
that'll make raku recompile everything in each directory you run your
script in.
I had this problem once, so I'm guessing that might be what happened to you?
Hi Veesh,
Well, as a matter of fact, yes. I use modules *A LOT*.
And I seldom zef them into the system as I am constantly
modifying and upgrading them.
The worst offender is my update checker. It takes
10 seconds to start. It is 8978 lines long. And at
8978 lines long, it is a program, not a script. :-)
use lib '/home/linuxutil/p6lib';
use CurlUtils :CurlDownloadFile, :CurlGetWebSite, :CurlGetHeader,
:CurlExists, :CurlSendMail, :CurlGetRedirectUrl;
use PrintColors :PrintRed, :PrintGreen, :PrintBlue, :PrintErr,
:PrintRedErr, :PrintGreenErr, :PrintBlueErr;
use PauseLib :Pause;
use RunNoShellLib :RunNoShell, :RunNoShellCode, :RunNoShellErr;
use CheckSystemDependancy :Which, :CheckSysDependancy;
The second is my Cobian Wrapper that runs in Windows. It
pops up a black box for about 8 seconds before starting.
Just enough time for the user to thump the "X" in the
upper right and mangle their backups. I have an RFE in
your the pop up thing.

Cobian Wrapper is 521 lines long and is also a program. :-)
use lib 'C:/NtUtil';
use Getopt::Long; # get-options
use WinMessageBox :MessageBox;
use WinMount :GetLUA, :SetLUA, :ListPartitions, :Mount, :Umount,
:FindPartitionByLabel, :FindPartitionByUUID,
:FindPartitionByDrive;
And several of the modules call other moduels
".precomp" is in full force. I do not see them recompiled
each time.
About a years of so ago, I asked about this problem.
I was told whilst they work on this, to put the main
part of my program into a module, so it was only
compiled once. That is not always practical.
The update program was ported over from Perl 5. On
Perl 5, it fires up in about 1/2 second, not 10 seconds.
Again, I was told they are working on it.
Anyone know if there is a bug report on it I could
Cc on?
Many thanks,
