Hi!

Sorry, I have more unbelievable dumb questions about Perl6 and Rakudo.

So, on http://rakudo.org/ it's stated that Rakudo Star is "a useful and
usable
distribution of Perl 6".
To be sure: that means that Rakudo* is something like ActiveState Perl or
Strawberry Perl right?
And Rakudo only (without *) is like compiling Perl from source.

The next section tells that Perl  6 has Support for VMs. MoarVM and Parrot.
I only know virtual box, VMWare, Hyper-V etc.
I guess this is not meant here, right? I guess that an exmplanation exists
somewhere. could you please provide me a link (I'll never ask for pointers
again...)?

And then, there is Support for the JVM. We do Support the Java Virtual
Machine? How does it work? Can we call Java stuff from Perl 6 now?

Best regards,
Alex
