Since the announcement of Perl 6 10 years ago, there have been fifteen stable releases of Perl 5.

There have been 31 releases of Rakudo Perl 6. Pugs had half a dozen.

What more do you want?

I want to be able to go to http://www.perl.org/get.html and see two links: download Perl 5.10.xxx, download Perl 6.x.
That would be a very good idea indeed.

In meantime for Rakudo Perl6 the direct link is: http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo

Some Perl 6 eBooks.
Thanks, I have this and it's great, but it'd be a bit nicer to have something a little more fleshed-out.

Looking forward to Learning Perl 6 when it starts to come along.

I'm talking to Pete Krawczyk about "Perl 6 for Perl 5 Programmers". Is that more what you have in mind?
