One word: CPAN. The intention is to allow translation from Perl5 to Perl6 for 
most modules (of course, I have one in CPAN that likely won't translate, 
but...).

I think that Ruby really needs to get on the ball with respect to something 
like CPAN. RAA is currently too haphazard. I'm sure that this has been 
discussed before on the list, so I won't get into it here. But I think that 
the switch to Perl6 gives Ruby a chance to catch up somewhat -- _if_ the 
community gets its act together on a good library repository. I believe Ben 
Tilly has given some good advice on this from a Perl viewpoint.

Another thing is that many Perl programmers aren't convinced that OO is a 
Good Thing.
