I just recently got interested in Perl 6 (within the past two months), and I found that reading the book was a good kick-start. Sure, lots of stuff has changed, but many of the general ideas still seem to hold true.
Yes, the book is still an OK primer on the high-level concepts, it just needs to be made clear that on both the Parrot and Perl sides, it's quite a bit out of date. Even the names have changed in some cases (e.g. IMCC is now known as PIR).
