Re^2: Perl 5, Python, Rakudo, C/C++, Java, Lua?

[Your Mother]

You can do tail calls in Perl5 now: 5.4.2 Creating Tail Calls in Higher Order Perl; see also Sub::Call::Tail.

The CPAN has plenty of “interesting” code that doesn’t work everywhere Perl5 does. It seems likely that a slightly smaller portion would be able work under any kind of harness, Perl6 or otherwise.

Yes you can. goto &subname also does them. I don't see anything in Perl 6 docs for this functionality however.
