After being distracted from Perl 6 development for a while, I've picked up the rope again.
As a combined self-training and practical test exercise, I started translating the examples from "Mastering Algorithms in Perl" http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565923980 into Perl 6, and promptly crashed into a potentially bottomless chain of dependencies on core modules, all resolutely Perl 5. Presumably, at some point soon, there will have to be 6-safe versions of the modules in the core library, (except for the ones superceded by the language itself). Is anybody working on this? If not, has anybody produced a dependency tree for the library? Converting heavily-used fundamental ones before rare and top-level ones would make for a more rewarding and shorter task.
