in thread Perl 6 - I hope it won't take a decade

If I could contribute, I would have done it in 2001.
From the Pugs Overview:
    I know Perl 5, but not Haskell. Can I develop Pugs?

    Sure! The standard libraries and unit tests that come with Pugs are coded in
    Perl 6, and there is always a need for more tests and libraries. All you need
    is basic familiarity of Perl 5, and a few minutes to get acquainted with some
    small syntax changes. You will likely pick up some Haskell knowledge along the
    way, too.

Problem solved :-)
