Thank you for your kind reply !
Perl 6 is not yet finished, so the the list of core modules is not yet
specified.
I know that it is somehow not the subject,
but I think the actual 5.8 doc should be changed to some extents.
It could be nice if we could browse each core functions,
having the function parameters, flags (not that much used right?), and
the return value of the function, followed by exampleS
AND so that it could be a lot richer, allow people to "comment"...
I know this is not the point but it could be nice to do so for perl6 !
(I was thinking to create a kind of site like that for the actual perl,
but my programming competences are,well... )
Perl 6 does. See for example ext/Set/ in the pugs repository.
Glad to hear that !
You could help by contributing some suggestions to what the new "Web"
module should be able to do, and how so. Web is hopefully "CGI done
right", and still in its early planning stage.
Web module is a good name.
Is there a place where we can add suggestions ? apart from the first one in...
2003 ? 4 years ago ?

I would like to develop web apps with perl too but having to download
modules from CPAN
every time makes me feel these apps will never be able to evoluate in
different environments.
(environments you don't have control of)
That's a general problem with libraries, not only Perl ones. And you
can't solve this by putting everything into core - it just blows up the
distribution.
I am a bit amazing to see that perl doesn't include a bunch a set theory
functions too.
Perl 6 does. See for example ext/Set/ in the pugs repository.
And so does Perl 5:
http://search.cpan.org/~samv/Set-Object-1.21/lib/Set/Object.pm
I am not blaming perl but only hopes that perl6 will allow to make
things easy for the programmer.
That's one of the most important design goals ;-)
as for the web, maintaining state thru server side cookies and DBI are
the very minimum I would recommend.
more hash and array functions a minimum too.
if there are such things in perl6, I'll be very happy to work with this
language !
