Now what?
Out of all the fine suggestions offered by Limbic~Region, the one I personally like the best is the 6th. That is, port some Perl5 code to Perl6. Try to run it on Pugs. Frequently, you'll run into small bugs that will either be Pugs Bugs, or Perl6 Gotchas. These are both good things to find at this stage in the game. In either case, you would be best to write a test case demonstrating what you discovered. It may sound suspiciously like work, but in my experience, it's a lot of fun! :-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
