What convinced me that rakudo is worth pursuing was the 3-line dice
class with a roll() method. What I do now is 'use fields' and build
from templates. I understood fields via 'perldoc -m' in far less time
than I've spent reading through Moose docs.

I doubt they were posted on alioth. I think that a pre-requisite is:
apt-get install rakudo
on ubuntu.

I hope I have time. I'm planning to compile and run one C and one perl
program today and see if the outputs are the same (that's my
understanding, so far, of the requirements for alioth).
