I've started on porting CGI::Application to Perl6.
The current state is that I've made a number of code adjustments, but
the module still doesn't compile. I haven't started converting any of
the tests.
I don't think the replacement for Class::ISA is even implemented yet, so
the line that includes "$app_class.meta.class_precedence_list".... will
current fail.
I'm sharing the code here in case anyone else wants to hack on it. It's
a darcs archive:

I consider this a "blue sky" project where we should feel free to make
API improvements in non-backwards compatible ways.
For example, I think it's worth considering moving load_tmpl() to a
plugin, and considering whether to keep both header_add() and
header_props(). ( header_props() could accidentally clobber headers set
a plugin... header_add() is almost always a better choice. ).
Also, some might like a complete decoupling with CGI.pm.
Even the name could be changed. :) ( It seems the DateTime module will
be just "Date" in Perl6 ).
For that matter, there's no reason that I need to be an official
maintainer of this new project. Anyone else is welcome to publish
another repository of a CGI::App that is equally as authoritative as my
work.
For the moment, I'm mostly interested in this project as an excuse to
learn more about Perl6.

There was a thread about a possible rebranding of CA a while ago. Doing
that for Perl6 would be the best opportunity.
Just a thought...
