For following Perl 6, its interesting to lurk on the perl6-users and perl6-language lists and watch the language being made.

Aaron Sherman is writing Perl 6 snippits for beginners on his Google buzz feed.

At this point, Perl 6 skills (in and of themselves) probably won't help you get a job. On the other hand, the more you learn and practice various languages in general, the better/more employable programmer you become.
