Is it possible to have perl-5 and perl-6 installed and in use

This has come up because I am trying to upgrade mythtv using overlays
because gentoos mythtv builds are getting rather ancient - the drscream
(layman) overlay is requiring a perl 6 module, but the manual github
overlay which doesnt is January so is getting out of date anyway.

or can someone point me to a recent overlay thats regularly updated and
works(!)  Currently want to go from mythtv .23-gentoo to .24-fixes and
then .25 as its soon to be stable.

I had a look at the ebuild, it doesn't appear to be slotted. So, it is most likely not possible to have both at the same time. The relavant portion:

LICENSE="|| ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 )"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd"

All the ebuilds I looked at had the SLOT="0" which means no slots.

If I am wrong, someone post and correct me.
