How to disable Perl 6 REPL creating .precomp

Every time I run perl6 to enter the REPL mode, it creates a .precomp directory, which also slows down the appearance of the prompt. If the .precomp directory already exists, the prompt appears almost immediately, otherwise perl6 takes several seconds to create it.

Is there a way to disable this feature?

Check if you have a PERL6LIB environment variable set, and if it contains .. I can produce exactly the behavior you're encountering if I set that. The solution is to clear that from your PERL6LIB.
