in reply to Translating Perl5 to Perl6.

im vaugely concerned about trying to run code on some perl6 servers and some perl5 servers, as most of the 'proffessional' webhosts may not upg perl for a while.. So what do you do? Write two versions? Try to write perl5 that works in perl6?

    We have this same problem with Perl 4, truly. And Perl 5 which isn't 5.6. These are issues which Perl 6 culturally is set out to handle, such as convincing webhosts that Perl isn't any good without a large module base. It's not a new issue, and certainly one we all think about.
