AFAIK Perl6 and Parrot Essentials isn't very up to date with the current Parrot status. There is, however, a large body of documentation available which (I hope!) can help you, namely: http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/. The docs/ directory within the Parrot svn repository also contains a lot of information. There are also lots of nice people who hang out on the #parrot irc channel (try irc.perl.org for instance) who I'm sure will be all too happy to answer any questions you have :-). You also might want to check out the archives for this mailing list at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/ I hope that helps to some degree, and welcome! Paul
