This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Perl 6 is.  As far
as I know there will never be a release of Perl 6.0 (it definitely
won't be PERL6.0).  Perl 6 is a specification and a set of tests.  Any
program that can pass the test suite and conforms to the specification
IS a Perl 6.  Right now the program that passes the most tests and
conforms most closely to the specification is Rakudo.
