Since the tests are all written in Perl 6, you have to learn at least a
bit of the language.

In the pugs repo there's a file in t/TASKS that contains a list of
things to be done - maybe you can start there. In case of doubt join our
IRC channel (irc.freenode.org/#perl6) and ask for guidance there.

I figured that; I just wanted to start off with perl6 before I did
anything in PIR.

I'll see if I can take care of some of these.  The one that looks like
I could learn a lot from and definitely do is the one where you test
builtin functions with named parameters as most of these having been
tested that way yet.

I hope it helps!
