Absolutely not, even if at the beggining of the project it might have been the idea. It's something Conway insisted on clarifying in his talk. Therefore I see the capacities of reintegration of Perl5 functionalities as a side-effect of Perl6, this is similar to using Java as a virtual machine compared to compiling Java programs, and it is the reason why I was asking about a P6 compiler, able to yield programs independent of any virtual machine.
