Obtaining and building perl6

$ svn checkout https://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk parrot
$ cd parrot
$ perl Configure.pl
$ make                      # takes a few minutes (*)
$ cd languages/perl6
$ make                      # build perl6
$ make test                 # local build test suite
$ make spectest             # run selected tests from pugs

# run a Perl 6 program
$ parrot perl6.pbc hello.pl

* I recommend avoiding "make install".
