Yes, you can write real perl 6 code, using a subset of perl 6 because perl 6 isn't finished yet, and therefore doesn't really exist. You can also write real perl 6 code using perl 5, because at least some perl 5 code will run unchanged in perl 6.

Mind you, I didn't know that Rakudo had got that far, so thanks for pointing it out.

update: building rakudo fails because 1GB of memory apparently isn't enough.

    [Perl 6] isn't finished yet, and therefore doesn't really exist....

    Neither does Perl 5, by that logic. One wonders how PerlMonks works, given that it's written in Perl 5. It must run on our hopes and dreams, just like git, the iPhone, and President Obama.

    Bug reports should go to rakudobug@perl.org.
