I'm curious about how one is going to go about accessing (from perl6) functions in you-beaut-whizz-bang third party C shared libraries. Will that also be done without a compiler ? (Something like Win32::API and C::DynaLib perhaps ?) In addition, I find it neither desirable nor cool that a compiler will not be required - though it's quite likely that I'm anachronistic :-) Cheers, Rob
