(Assuming you're asking from a really long distance out) Well, there's two current implementations of it (with Rakudo being actively developed): http://www.perl6.org/compilers/features http://www.perl6.org/compilers/features As for example code, there's some on http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Perl_6 http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Perl_6 in the bottom section. With all that said, is it production ready? I don't know. I've heard people joke that Rakudo crashes every couple hundred lines of code it executes. Though the parrot developers have said that parrot itself is extremely stable, and they've had decently sized programs running for some time on it. That, and Rakudo is currently working on two new backends besides parrot: JVM and a new vm called MoarVM.
