.precomp ... repo-id subfolder in the Perl 6 working folder

Question

I usually find hidden subfolders in working directories that I believe were created by the Perl 6 compiler, for example:

.precomp/0717742595706FA8D59800F9F9F7074236546DE7.1505852292.23535/0B/0BDF8C54D33921FEA066491D8D13C96A7CB144B9.repo-id

So, I have two questions:

• This is normal?

• Is this necessary for the compiler or is there a way to avoid it?

Answer 1

The folder .precompcontains a pre-compiled form of Perl 6 modules.

The first time you use a module, it compiles and saves to .precomp, so it does not need to be compiled again. (currently only modules, not programs)
