I've found these resources helpful for learning Perl 6:

http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl6/ is a pretty good intro to Perl 6 if you just want to jump into things.

http://www.jnthn.net/papers/2015-spw-perl6-course.pdf is more slowly paced but provides greater detail.

Also, the people in #perl6 on Freenode are all awesome and are usually quick to help beginners unless they are in the middle of fixing some crazy bug.

Perl 6 has slides, IRC, a skim-through (learnxinyminutes), reference docs, examples, but alas no solid tutorial. This, IMO, will be a major problem if it persists until Christmas.

Empty string, array, and hash are falsey? Ruination! This is terrible! Also, types are falsey? What sense does that make?
