This is an experimental distribution written in Perl 6 Before installation you'll have to have Parrot and Rakudo installed on your system and set the PARROT_DIR environment variable to the directory in which the parrot executable can be found. Othat than that normal Perl 5 installation process should work so perl Makefile.PL make make test make install In order for your script to find the installed version of your module you'll have to configure the PERL6LIB environment variable to point to the directories where the normal perl 5 installation process will install your modules. (See the @INC of your perl 5 using perl -V)
