Channels

Perl 6 includes a number of solutions for parallel and concurrent calculations. The great thing is that this is already built-in into the language and no external libraries are required.

The idea of the channels is simple. You create a channel through which you can read and write. It is a kind of a pipe that can also easily transfer Perl 6 objects. If you are familiar with channels in, for example, Go, you would find Perl 6’s channels easily to understand.
