That's a very odd view.

&lt;p&gt;Why do think Perl 6 should ship with a [doc://vars] module? Or with [doc://Encode], when buffers have &lt;c&gt;.decode&lt;/c&gt; and strings &lt;c&gt;.encode&lt;/c&gt; methods?

&lt;p&gt;IMHO there are also a whole lot of modules in the Perl 5 core that have no good reason for being there (like [doc://Text::Soundex])

&lt;p&gt;I also suspect that there will be quite a difference between "core" Perl 6 and Perl 6 distributions. I see no reason why "core" should contain something like [mod://CGI], but most distributions will probably ship something like that anyway.</field>
