Since this was opened, what was version is now in ver, and version is unset:

03:02 < [Coke]> r: say $*PERL<version>
03:02 <+camelia> rakudo-parrot e8cea1, rakudo-jvm e8cea1, rakudo-moar e8cea1:
                  OUTPUT«(Any)␤»

What version should we declare to make this ticket closable?

Maybe something like '6.2014.02' or '6.preview' or so.
