I figured out a one-line version, not using the delimited comment syntax:
BEGIN { Q:exec ("perl6", $0, @ARGV) if False; die $! if False; }
The trick is that "Q:exec" for Perl 5 is a label followed by function
name, but for Perl 6 is a quote operator with an adverb. The quote
operator uses the parens as delimiters, taking what's inside them as
string content, so that content doesn't have to make sense as Perl 6 code.
This formulation doesn't readily extend to the shell trick. In any case,
overall I prefer the version using the delimited comment syntax.
