				|  |  | +# What is Rakudo Star?
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +Rakudo Star is a Perl 6 distribution designed for use by early adopters of the language. It includes a virtual machine (the JVM or MoarVM), the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, and a suite of modules that users may find useful. This image includes the MoarVM backend for the compiler.

				|  |  | +# How to use this image
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +Simply running a container with the image will launch a Perl 6 REPL:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +	$ docker run -it rakudo-star
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +	> say 'Hello, Perl!'
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +	Hello, Perl!
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +You can also provide perl6 command line switches to `docker run`:
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +	$ docker run -it rakudo-star -e 'say "Hello!"'
 |

				|  |  | +# Contributing/Getting Help
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | +

				|  |  | +Many Perl 6 developers are present on #perl6 on Freenode.
