Re: Perl 6 versus the CPAN

There has been some discussion, but not by anyone in a position to do 
something about it AFAICT.

We did kick around the idea of using something like p6/id/E/EW/EWILHELM/

This would basically mean that we need a new or updated PAUSE -- where 
you tell the indexer "this is perl 6 code" or something (a META flag 
might work.)

Also, a new or updated search interface, index files, CPAN client, build 
tools.  I would guess that providing a few simple pieces on the 
indexer/mirror side would allow others to fill the client-side needs.

Can we get somebody volunteered to define the index scheme and indexer 
interface?
