Has anyone developed (or is developing) a Perl to Ruby translator? (to facilitate the transference of Perl5 masterpieces like Template toolkit, Mason etc)

I get the impression that Perl6 is at least 5 years away (or am I too optimistic).

... other random thoughts : 1) In Ruby, we have a language out there now that is very Perlish but supports the notion of 'Programming as a craft' much better than Perl5 does. Why not invest our energies in Ruby instead of Perl6

2)Is there a danger Perl6 could end up a bloated monster raher like C++ (Exegesis 6 reminded me somewhat of the effective C++ books by Scott Meyers)

If you love your craft, you'll understand.
