A very good book.

Perl 6 is not here yet.

Even the definition of the language is still in flux.

But many things are reasonably clear.

If you are big into Perl or for some other reason

wish to explore this developing technology,

this is the book for you.

It's an exciting, well conceived book.

You'll be exposed to the major aspects of Perl 6;

and you'll also learn what you need to know to go further,

to follow the on-going development,

and to get involved (if you wish).

For a deeper examination, see my

detailed review.
