I may cite my answer to Sean WRT the same question: <cite author="me"> The advantage of "perl6 --test" is, that you can put all options there, that are meaningful in this case: -r run by imcc, w/o by parrot -r -Rc run by imcc and make PBC [-r ]-RP run prederef [-r ]-Rj run JIT [-r ]-Rg run through slow_core -r -RPG run prederf, GC off -C compile native and run (which is totally untested else) add -v to see involved programs Of cource these could be some env vars like TEST_PROG_ARGS, but setting this means typing a lot, and I'm lazy - I do these tests during changes x times a day where x might be ~30. </cite> Of course "make test" could run one "default" option from above. When imcc is reported to run code directly on all plattforms, this will be the default, skipping assembler and parrot alltogether. leo
