Hi, answering a bit late, but better late than never. A couple of uses of Perl 6 at $work.
I'm working, among other things, on a very large application running on VMS (about 3,500 programs). We"re using a few dozens Perl programs on these platforms, but we're stuck with a very old version of Perl (5.8). As you might imagine, I'm not using Perl 6 on VMS servers. But I have been using Perl 6 grammars to parse programs running on these VMS servers. One such project was a prototype to demonstrate the possibility to convert programs written in a proprietary programming language (actually a subset of that programming language) into Java code. The second one was to analyze DCL scripts (VMS equivalent of shell scripts) and extract information about which script is calling which script, which file they read from and write to, and so on, with the purpose of populating an extensive graphical documentation database (under Neo4J). I even delivered a talk on these projects (especially the second one) at The Perl Conference (TPC, formerly YAPC-Eur) in Glasgow last summer. The video is on line. Regards, Laurent.
