Beware - you have to 'Reply-All' to get messages to the mailing list.

Dunno - but more stable than it was in 2006 (which it undoubtedly is).

I'm not sure how well the extension interfaces are defined.  How do you do
the analogue of XS in Perl 6?  Or, how do you get at C code form Perl 6?

I've forgotten how Perl 6 relates to Parrot, or Rakudo, or ... any of the
myriad other code names lurking around.  So, what does "Rakudo more-or-less
works" mean?

I'm not the leader...I'm just a pleb DBD developer aiming to keep abreast of
what happens.  So anything I say should be taken with a pinch of salt and
treated as non-definitive.
