What is the best way for a Perl 5 programmer to learn Perl 6?
Perhaps one of the best ways is to take small pieces of Perl 5 that you have written and try translating them into Perl 6. That or try solving the kind of problem you would use Perl 5 to solve using Perl 6. Of course, to get started you will need to read a bit about the new Perl 6 syntax. This FAQ is one good source of information on the changes, and the Perl 6 specification provide much more detailed information. There are a number of places to turn to for help. One is the Perl 6 forum here at Programmer’s Heaven.
