  -e program           one line of program
  -h, --help           display this help text
  --target=[stage]     specify compilation stage to emit
  -t, --trace=[flags]  enable trace flags

  -o, --output=[name]  specify name of output file
  -v, --version        display version information
  --stagestats         display time spent in the compilation stages
  --ll-exception       display a low level backtrace on errors

Note that only boolean single-letter options may be bundled

MOARVM OPTIONS¶

To specify options to the underlying MoarVM virtual machine, you must explicitly run "moar"; you cannot specify these options by using the "perl6" executable.

 moar [--crash] [--libpath=...] input.moarvm [program args]

See "moar --help" for a list of valid MoarVM options.
