Trying Perl6 with Perlito

DanielHuber has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I just wanted to try out Perl6. Toward this aim I succcessfully installed the perl package "v6" in ActiveState Perl5. Perldoc tells you that to use Perl6 syntax you have to write:

use v6-perlito;
[download]

However, even without any additional code, I get the message: "out of memory!" With 4GB, this message does not sound very convincing! Does anybody know something about memory limitations? Thank's

I think v6 might be outdated, also Perlito is only a subset of Perl 6. I believe the Rakudo Star releases are supposed to be the easiest way to try out Perl 6. See also perl6.org.	[reply]
