+How to start using Perl 6
+=========================
+
+If you alredy know Perl 5, the "Perl 5 to 6" series of articles [1]
+aimed at people familiar with Perl 5, will show you the most
+significant changes, step by step.
+
+If You're completely new to Perl, Gabor Szabo's screencasts [2] will
+introduce you to Perl 6 from the very beginning, showing the effects
+of every example in real time.
+
+In both cases You'll probably be interested in Perl 6 Advent
+Calendar [3], showing "something cool about Perl 6 every day".
+Advent Calendar shows some nice new features of Perl 6, explains
+the new operators and shows many interesting, challenging examples
+of their usage.
+
+For a more official source of information, the formal specification
+of Perl 6 [4] is also available for reading.
