Without wanting to sound too stupid - why not delegate the decision to a
class/resource loader of some manner, specify your resources as '[some

Yes--through C blocks and munging, you can get whatever

A small tangent that might be relevant -- what's the current convention
for, say, putting several related "packages" in the same file?
In p5, I might write a great Foo.pm that loads Foo::Loader.pm and
Foo::Parser.pm and Foo::Object.pm; I'd usually drop them into seperate
files and have one load t

For justification, see below.
There were some hot replies to what I thought was a fairly
trivial question. A corollary perhaps of an observation in "Parkinsons
Law" - people on committees arg

No, some people put .pl on the end of their "scripts" because they are running
on broken operating systems.

I usually only give throw-away scripts a .pl extension. Others I call
"program" and make executable, with no extension.

It will look incre
To be brief, file extensions for both programs and modules should
remain exactly the same, .pl and .pm, between Perl 5 and Perl 6.
Perl 5 and Perl 6 code are differentiated by what the files contain,
not by their file name extensions. For example, what their internal
