Larry points out that the shibboleth for Perl 6 code is:
: No package statements. Instead, you'll see module statements.
That ought to be a pretty reasonable way for the indexer to know it's
Perl 6 code in the absence of other markers. I do think that xdg's plan

Which tools are going to just work on a perl 6 tarball? If it's a

I'm pretty sure that's true for all such systems, including things
like .war files.
Even if we split, say, Strawberry from ActivePerl, what if you have
multiple installations of ActivePerl?

Alternative option, when we switch to Perl 6 also take the opportunity
to switch to a specific named extension.

Our proposal is for Perl 6 modules to be uploaded into a 'perl6'
subdirectory of a CPAN author's directory like so:

This would require changes to any tools which think that
