One excellent opportunity is to write tests for Perl 6 features. Testing gives
several benefits:
- exploring the syntax with a working interpreter
- mapping the boundaries of what's expected
- providing good feedback for debugging Perl 6
- exposing what's not yet implemented
- ensuring that regressions only happen once
I'd be thrilled to help anyone learn how to do this. It's one of the most
important places to contribute, but it's all-too-often overlooked.
