There is no "real thing" yet, which is why we're working on it ;-) > Likewise, how do I get synched up with the Parrot implementation? svn co https://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk parrot cd parrot perl Makefile.PL && make cd src/languages/ make then you can fire up ../../parrot perl6.pbc and start playing. > I understand the most official grammar is being developed there. Not quite. The "official" grammar is in the pugs repo in src/perl6/, but it can't really run on anything yet. > Is there a grammar-checker tool that will help me to validate proposed Perl 6 > code fragments, even if I can't execute it yet?

The parrot repo contains parrot, rakudo (perl6 on parrot) and various other languages, the pugs repo contains pugs, STD.pm (the grammar), some of synopsis (in docs/Perl6/Spec/), kp6 (in v6/v6-KindaPerl6), smop (in v6/smop/) and various other stuff.
