Una de las formas de usar Perl 6 es con la implementación llamada Rakudo, que usa
Se necesita el siguiente software instalado :
Si estás detrás de un proxy, necesitás configurar Git y SVN para que lo usen.
Luego los pasos a seguir son:
$ git clone http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git
$ cd rakudo$ perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot$ make$ make installEste últino paso instala perl 6 en el directorio rakudo/parrot_install/bin
Si querés también podés ejecutar los tests, para asegurarte que en tu máquina funciona bien

Ocurre que Perl 6 está en constante movimiento y siempre hay alguna que otra cosa que rreglar.
