Honestly, there is little chance of me using Perl 6 until it has a good, working DBI. Anyone know the state of things with DBI and Perl6? Is the goal still to implement what is basically DBI v2, or perhaps someone is working on a simple port of the existing DBI? Is a working DBI even on their list of blocker features for a release? On MoarVM the perl5 DBI can be accessed via the Inline::Perl5 module. That probably counts as a reasonable working DBI :) Back in 2007 I said this: http://www.slideshare.net/Tim.Bunce/dbi-for-parrot-and-perl-6-lightning-talk-2007 Then in 2010 I said this: http://www.slideshare.net/Tim.Bunce/perl6-dbdi-yapceu-201008 I still think that's the right way to go, for all the reasons expressed in the slides. What's missing is a team of people with the right skill willing to work on it. I've had little time to do more than the tinkering I've already done and I'm severely hampered by knowing ~zero perl6 or Java. Volunteers are most welcome to express interest on the dbi-dev mailing list. Tim.

Re: Perl 6 and DBI
Perl 6 may need its own Tim Bunce, rather than somehow pressing the original into service.
