in thread Typeglobs and Symbol tables

Is anyone worrying yet about writing code that works in Perl 5 and Perl 6? Seems a little silly, given that the language design for Perl 6 is still in a state of flux.

Yes, it does look as tho' typeglobs will cease to exist in Perl 6, but there will be some other way to achieve the same results - probably far more cleanly. Also, there will be ways to automatically convert Perl 5 scripts to Perl 6 syntax - tho' I wouldn't be surprised if typeglob fell into the 10% that this didn't work for :(
