These are the Perl 6 Tablets, a comprehensive manual, aiming to support many different ways of learning. The content is nicely sorted and indexed and many links allow you to follow your interest freely. For a lightweight introduction, try the Perl 6 Tutorial written by Herbert Breunung or the community Book Using Perl 6. If that is too easy, read the specs.
