Is there such a Perl5-Perl6 translator underway?
I started toying with one, but didn't get very far yet. PPI (on CPAN)
would be a good way to start, but it needs to be extended to be used
as a Perl5-Perl 6 translator.

Feel free to add your own, or fears you heard about!
Fear: Perl 6 will not attract enough interested developers and
companies to gain momentum. People will continue to be excited about
digital watches and PHP 5.

taking a look at Marcus Holland-Moritz'
powerful Convert::Binary::C ( http://search.cpan.org/dist/Convert-Binary-C/ ).
It already offers a way to declaratively convert to/from binary
data, which could serve as inspiration for a similar Perl6 interface.

of crap known as XSL. An XML-based derivative that performs XML
transformations, allowing/using embedded P6 regexs, closures, etc., and
able to more easily translate XML == P6 data.
I'm still quite XML-phobic, but I see the need for strong XML support
in Perl 6. However, I'd like to work with
It survived a few refreshes, so I wonder if it's a file-transfer
problem?
No, Larry is just presenting additional proof that we need Unicode
operators in Perl 6 by using them in English, too. :)

Now, I might be stupid, but I keep asking myself what you would need a
property for in this example. To me, it totally confuses the
underlying structure. When was the last time you asked an integer to
identify itself as a valid credit card number?
It is _not_ a property of the integer that it is
I was wondering whether the Perl 'while (){' idiom will continue to
be supported in Perl 6?
Actually, I once found myself wondering why while doesn't set $_ all
the time anyway... It would be nice to do things like
while ($iterator-each()) { ... }
while (query-nextResult()) { ... }
perl 5 already does that:
print '$_' foreach split /(=)/, rank=?;
print \n;
print '$_' foreach split /\s*(=)\s*/, rank = ?;
print \n;
# Output:
# 'rank' '=' '?'
# 'rank' '=' '?'
