Ah. That one's easy. Consider the following snippet of Perl 5 code:
sub foo { my $bar = shift; my %baz = @_; ... }
If you get rid of @_ and the defaulting behaviour of shift/pop et al how do you do a programmatic conversion to Perl 6?

Of course, once you've got it autoconverted to perl 6 you'd go through and change it to

sub foo($bar, %baz) { ... }
But having running code which you can test is important.
