in reply to Towards Perl 6.0

If:
  1. You can't find reasonable documentation backing up the feature in perl 5
  2. The feature doesn't work in 5.005-style threaded perl
  3. The coding technique makes you think "Boy, that's really clever" (always a good warning in itself)
odds are you'll have problems with it in perl 6. Not guarantees, but good warning signs.

    You could always install 6 on a testbed machine and check perldoc. I'll probably move up just because I like my stuff being up to date.

      Odds are I'd just go re-check the source, if I didn't remember off-hand as it was. (Assuming, of course, that I wasn't just emitting parrot assembly anyway) Joys of being deeply involved. :)
