The pmtools POD commands will be the easiest to port to Perl6, but
there's one obstacle – most pmtools POD commands require knowledge of
Perl6's configuration, which we don't have yet in Pugs (no Config.pm). So
I'm writing a tool in Perl6 (as I'm trying to eat our own dogfood) that
will take the output of pugs -V and generate a Perl6 Config.pm from that
output. (Yes, I know this should probably occur during the Pugs build
process, but I don't have a huge amount of time for pmtools-perl6, so I'm
chopping pmtools-perl6 into small, easy to program (for me) pieces.)

A minor problem is that my copy of Win32 pugs cannot find
$EXECUTABLE_NAME when using it from -e. Pugs can use $EXECUTABLE_NAME OK
from a Perl6 program – just not the -e command line. If anyone has an
explanation as to why this must be so, please let me know.
