That examples project looks like a great start. If I knew how to use Git, and if I knew Perl 6, I'd add a directory to it called "the_basics", and put in the following files (to start):

• scalars.pl
• strings.pl
• arrays.pl
• hashes.pl
• operators.pl
• regex.pl
• control_structures.pl
• context.pl
• references.pl
• scope.pl
• functions.pl
• classes.pl
• modules.pl
• packages.pl
• stdin_stdout.pl
• environment_variables.pl
• files.pl
• tests.pl

If anyone wants to beat me to it, please go ahead. Would make it a snap to get up to speed with Perl 6 in a hurry.
