Sadly x86/arm/mips/sparc/power processors aren't Perl machines and Perl6 thusly can't be used to make a kernel for a Unix derivative.

One could probably get Scheme to do this and use it to make a kernel. But what would be the point of making it a Unix machine then? Make it a Scheme machine.

They aren't C machines, either. But I agree, that Perl is probably harder to compile to native code than C.
