Rakudo Perl (Perl 6 on Parrot) continues to progress nicely, and new features of the language are being added all of the time. This talk jumps right to practical examples of using Perl 6 in Rakudo:

* How to obtain and build the latest Rakudo Perl 6
* Variables
* Contextualizers
* Statements and Iterators
* Basic I/O
* Metaoperators (hypers, reductions, crosses)
* Subroutines
* Classes, methods, inheritance
* Roles

All of the examples in the talk will contain working Perl 6 code that can be used today in Rakudo Perl.
