Perl 6 is still in the design phase. The only version of it that's even slightly working is Pugs (linked previously), which implements a useful subset of the language, but is meant more for experimentation than production use. We hope to have something more useful within a year or so--with the all-important grammar engine coming together and the Parrot runtime getting to the point that Pugs can reasonably emit code for it, we should be able to bootstrap Perl 6 within a year or so, giving us a beta release. Sorry it's taking so long--we really want to get this thing right! (Note to the rest of the list: the "Status" page on dev.perl.org/perl6 is hopelessly out of date; that should probably be rectified.) -- Brent 'Dax' Royal-Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perl and Parrot hacker
