+ALE Perl6 Integration *ale-perl6-options*
+
+Checking code with `perl6` is disabled by default, as `perl6` code cannot be
+checked without executing it. Specifically, we use the `-c` flag to see if
+`perl6` code compiles. This does not execute all of the code in a file, but it
+does run `BEGIN` and `CHECK` blocks. See `perl6 --help`
+
+Full support requires a perl6 implementation that supports the
+PERL6_EXCEPTIONS_HANDLER environment variable and JSON error output,
+which was specified in 6.d. Rakudo version 2018.08 is the first rakudo release
+that supports this. See `perl6 --version` and
+https://docs.perl6.org/programs/03-environment-variables.
+
+Without this variable, errors and warnings will appear at line 1, and can be
+viewed with ALEDetail. This also serves as a fallback for errors and warnings
+that do not trigger JSON output.
+
+See |g:ale_linters|.
