If I want to try the latest, greatest, *fastest*, thread-capable version of Perl6; where should I go? What should I download?

A google search turns up this page, which given the references to rakudo, parrot and *pugs*, suggests that the September ???? and February ???? dates probably relate to sometime circa 2006/7. About as useful as a chocolate teapot.

And yes, this is a genuine inquiry. I may actually have a real use for it -- assuming that it is thread-capable and at least moderately performant.

Since the crazies have taken over control of the nut-house that dictates the destiny of P5, have seen fit prejudice enough to "officially" deprecate P5 threading, a language that is incomplete and dog slow, that at least promises to try and implement threading -- no matter how fancifully -- is better than one that buries its head in the sand and tries to pretend that they do not exist, despite the ample and ubiquitous evidence to the contrary.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
