Welp, we have a definition for "Christmas": This year.
Which means Perl6 is avaialable and stable enough for use.

Even Dave Rolsky likes it: http://blog.urth.org/2015/11/29/perl-6-is-fun/ !

Test drive it yourself (at least on *NIX) with:


git clone 'https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git';
cd rakudo;
perl Configure.pl --prefix=/opt/perl6 --backends=moar --gen-nqp --gen-moar &&
make all test install;

For examples of using Perl6 try:

Welcome to the future!
