We are using in in production. One of our bigger uses is a DB metrics aggregator. We use it to to pull stats from DB servers for remote clients and dump them into graphite. Sort of an agent-less monitoring platform. We've had this Perl 6 tool running 24/7 since last summer. It's now pulling from ~80 DB servers.
Another internal use is an AWS infrastructure management tool that we built. A cli util that handles the initial bootstrapping for new AWS projects and a few helper features to simplify some of our common management tasks.
Perl 6 has been pretty easy to work with. Even in situations where a module isn't available or the requirements are too complex to build it with Perl 6 within our project time constraints, its facilities as a glue language really make it simple to work with external tools, modules, libs.
If you like the Perl 6 syntax then I'd recommend just spending some time with it. It's stable and fast enough for regular use now.
