I've not hidden that I am definitely not enthralled by Perl6 thus far. I too do not wish to see my . and -> mangled. I'm also not especially pleased on the insistence that all filehandles will be objects; I know why people want it, but that doesn't mean I agree. I also am not a big fan of these objects posessing the punctuation variables as attributes or methods. Generaly I could do without the whole OO and typing trend.

Thus far, these are the main things. I'll probably never use many of the new enhancements; just as there are many features of Perl5 I do not use. Sigils will take awhile getting used to, now that I no longer try to write things the intuitive way. I do like the idea of taking XS out of the picture though.

I plan on typing use Perl5; a fair bit. Yes, I realize the Perl 6 engine will support Perl 5 syntax, however it is my understanding that this will lockout access to some of the new features. So this module would be a source-filter masking some of the less-desirable changes.
