I am not happy about the versioning proposal.
While A12 listed many properties that could apply to a a module such as
version, subject, author etc, the versioning declaration
class Dog-1.2.1-cpan:JRANDOM;
leaves me a little cold.
Issues:
1) Why does this only use Version and Author?

If I read A12 correctly, this could be written as:
Foo::$name1 := - $a {$a.name1};
Could be; that sounds somewhat right, but could you point out where in

I know this sounds slightly irrational but I don't like using shifted
characters to offset my command line switches. Also, that colon seems

perl -6 foo.pl
perl -6e 'print yahoo\n'
