Well, Pugs has some issues with running Perl 5 modules atm., but that functionality is specced, so ever "official" implementation has to implement that as well.

And we do need that feature in order to get Perl 6 adapted quickly.

I don't think that there will be too many not-ported perl 5 modules used in Perl 6 for a long time, because porting Modules from 5 to 6 is a good way to learn Perl 6.

    I don't know, but last I heard... wasn't $Larry working on a 5-to-5 translator which should be the basis for a 5-to-6 one? IIRC he stated that the goal was to have it working 90% of the times, doing it right also 90% of the times, or something like that.

      She was quoting someone, actually. I forget who!
