"Perl 6 Essentials" is really about vaporware

Funny; I have Parrot and Perl 6 installed on multiple machines.

    Seriously? You have a working Perl 6 that implements the syntax decided so far? I didn't think it was that far along yet.

      Not all of it; it's missing rules, as Parrot doesn't support them yet and objects, as Parrot only recently had them added and it has some odd limitations and strange bugs here and there, but it does exist and runs actual Perl 6 code.

      You'd be crazy to do anything serious with it at this point, but the code's publicly available. This is neither Cairo nor Duke Nukem Forever.
