=SUBTITLE Frequently Asked Questions about Perl 6

=head1 General

=head2 What's the difference between Rakudo and Perl 6?

Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6. Its currently the most developed but
there have been other implementations in the past and probably others in the
future. Perl 6 is the definition of the language. Many times the two names
will be used loosely and interchangeably.

=head2 As a Perl 6 beginner what should I install?

If you are a Linux or Mac user you probably want to download Rakudo Star and
install via compilation (a simple process) the MoarVM version available from
L<http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/|http://rakudo.org/downloads/star>.

If you are a Windows 32 or 64 bit user then Rakudo Star binaries are also
available at the rakudo site. You will need Windows Git to use panda. 

There will probably be Linux and Mac binaries available shortly from vendors
and third parties. Although vendor versions may be outdated. 

=head2 As an intermediate to advanced user I want to track Rakudo development.

Install L<rakudobrew|https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew> which resembles
Perl 5's perlbrew and the equivalent Python and Ruby tools.

=head2 Where can I find good documentation on Perl 6?

The most reliable information is to be found either under the perl6.org domains or directly linked from it.

L<http://www.perl6.org/documentation/|http://www.perl6.org/documentation/> with 
L<http://doc.perl6.org/|http://doc.perl6.org/> as the canonical technical reference.

There is much good recent material on Youtube but be careful to check any dates
on webpages since much of the Perl 6 information on random websites found by
Google is often outdated.

You could also try searching the Freenode #perl6 IRC channel log via
L<Google|https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:irclog.perlgeek.de+inurl:perl6>
although you might see a Capatcha.

=head2 Is there a glossary of Perl 6 related terms?

See L<S99|http://design.perl6.org/S99.html>

=head2 I'm a programmer in perl5. Where is a list of differences between Perl 5 and 6?

See the pod with the 5to6- prefix under L<http://doc.perl6.org/language.html|http://doc.perl6.org/language.html>

=head1 Modules 

=head2 Is there a CPAN for Perl 6?

There isn't yet a module repository for Perl 6 as sophisticated as CPAN. But
L<modules.perl6.org|http://modules.perl6.org/> has a list of known Perl 6
modules called the "ecosystem" hosted on github, and
L<panda|https://github.com/tadzik/panda/> can install those that work with
L<rakudo|http://rakudo.org/>.

Support for installing Perl 6 modules from the Perl 5 CPAN is on its way.
