The Perl 6 Community welcomes you
We are a bunch of volunteers developing Perl 6 and Perl 6 applications, and try real hard to be nice to each other.
Get in touch with us! Here is how:
Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
Much discussion happens on #perl6, our IRC channel.
Blogs
A great way to stay tuned is reading blog posts about Perl 6. Planetsix assembles many important and interesting blogs on the topic. Perl 6 and Parrot links is a comprehensive link collection about everything Perl 6.
Screencasts
You can easily immerse yourself into Perl 6 with these great introductory screencasts by Gabor Szabo. Gabor also frequents our IRC channel.
Rosetta Code
Perl 6 is well represented on Rosetta Code, where you can see Perl 6 (and a great many other languages) applied to numerous programming tasks.
Videos
The wiki has a page of categorized links to Perl 6-related videos.
Wikis
Many wikis collect facts and opinions about Perl 6, the implementations and infrastructure. Though currently we can only recommend the nascent Perl 6 Wiki.
Mailing lists
For more persistent discussions (and for the poor folks who can't use IRC) we have several mailing lists.
You can subscribe to each list by sending an email to list-name-subscribe@perl.org.
- perl6-announce

Moderated lists for announcements and news. Fairly low traffic (a few mails per month).

Discussions on the Perl 6 language
- perl6-compiler
-
Discussions on various Perl 6 compilers
- perl6-users
-
User questions about the Perl 6 language and compilers
