I need a working Perl6 DBI and web framework before I can really switch over. Most of what I do with Perl5 isn't calculating Fibbonaci sequences or making fancy class hierarchies; I read files, process data from one format into another format, insert it into and read it back out of a database, display it on the web and so on.
The ability to do all of those things in more concise, elegant ways is what makes Perl6 attractive - but first things first, we need the basics. CPAN6. lib-www-perl6, DBI6, Plack6, etc.
I know Mr. Tim Bunce is working on a JDBC port to Perl6 (great idea) and that's a great start. I know that there has been a lot of discussion about CPAN6 (authorities, etc). Maybe it's time to do some googling on the subject.
