Agree, but would go further: Someone new to Perl 6 should not need to make any decision regarding modules and should not need to install anything else for the common tasks. What are common tasks changes with time. These days accessing SQLite, handling JSON, YAML, INI files, and even XML falls in that place. Even simple web application development falls in that category. IMHO if the distribution of Perl 6 (I guess I mean Rakudo Start) does not come with such capabilities then it won't be able to compete with languages such as PHP or Python because of 1) Analysis paralyzes 2) Lack of knowledge how to install 3) Lack of rights (technical or legal) Gabor http://perl6maven.com/
