I wish programmers could break away from "tutorials" and "introductions" that are just lists of syntax and keywords.

I want short examples, brief explanations of those, and then some problems to solve.

Have you looked at the synopses (1)? That's how I've learnt Perl 6, and I've never been convinced by any other kind of Perl 6 documentation. To me the synopses are complete and explanatory enough. As far as problems to solve, there are the various entries in rosettacode (2).

1. http://design.perl6.org/

2. http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Perl_6

learnxinyminutes.com solves your problem about how the language works, but doesn't give you problems to work with.
