| 1 | Getting Started with Perl 6 |

| 7 | Learning Perl 6 |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | Unfortunately, there doesn't yet seem to be much in the way of tutorials for |
|---|
| 10 | people new to Perl 6. |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | These are a few resources you may want to try: |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | * Quickref |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | Concise summaries of how to do various common things in Perl 6. Probably |
|---|
| 17 | too terse to serve as a tutorial, but useful nonetheless. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/docs/quickref/ |
|---|
| 20 | (or docs/quickref/ in your local copy) |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | * Examples |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | http://svn.pugscode.org/examples/ |
|---|
| 25 | (or examples/ in your local copy) |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | * #perl6 (irc.freenode.net) |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Logs are also available. |

|---|
| 32 | http://irc.pugscode.org/ (redirects to today's log) |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | * Synopses |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | The official Perl 6 design documents, as maintained by @Larry. Can be a |
|---|
| 37 | little hard to follow sometimes, particularly for newcomers, but you may |
|---|
| 38 | want to give them a try anyway. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | http://svn.perl.org/perl6/doc/trunk/design/syn/ (official repo) |
|---|
| 41 | http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/synopsis.html (HTML versions) |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | * perl6-language |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | Installing Pugs |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | * Windows |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | Windows users who don't want the hassle of building Pugs themselves should |
|---|
| 53 | try the binaries in PXPerl. |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | http://pxperl.com/ |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | * Other Platforms |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | Use your favourite Subversion client to grab the latest revision from the |
|---|
| 60 | official Pugs repository. |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/ |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | You can also try getting one of the releases from CPAN, but if you're going |
|---|
| 65 | to build it yourself anyway, you might as well try the latest SVN revision. |

|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | Pugs is written in Haskell, so you'll need a recent version of GHC to build |
|---|
| 70 | it. (As of writing, 6.4.1 is recommended; 6.4 works on some platforms.) |
