<a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?v6" title="(38 months) Incredibly, an effort lead by [Flávio Soibelmann Glock] is working to actually implement Perl 6 in P...">v6</a> brings Perl 6 to perl (the Perl 5 interpreter).</p>
<p>
Perl 6 features are also coming to Perl 5 in other ways. As described below, a number of Perl 5 modules already implement some Perl 6 features, and some aspects of Perl 6 are being added to the official Perl 5 releases, starting with Perl 5.10.</p>
<h3 id="perl_5_modules_implementing_perl_6_features">Perl 5 modules implementing Perl 6 features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Perl 5.10 provides some Perl 6 features that you can selectively turn on. See the <a target="_blank" title="(external link)" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi">Official Perl 5 Wiki<!-- wiki-renamed-hyperlink "Official Perl 5 Wiki"<http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi> --></a> for more information.</li>
<li>There are many modules that currently implement parts of Perl 6 in Perl 5. Go to <a target="_blank" title="(external link)" href="http://search.cpan.org/">CPAN<!-- wiki-renamed-hyperlink "CPAN"<http://search.cpan.org/> --></a> and do a <a target="_blank" title="(external link)" href="http://search.cpan.org/search?query=perl6&amp;mode=module">module search on perl6<!-- wiki-renamed-hyperlink "module search on perl6"<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=perl6&mode=module> --></a>.</li>
<li>(Note: (<a target="_blank" title="(external link)" href="http://search.cpan.org/modlist/Perl6">http://search.cpan.org/modlist/Perl6</a>) is missing many entries. Use the search above for the time being.)</li>
<li>Some of these are listed on the <a target="_blank" title="(external link)" href="http://perl.net.au/wiki/Perl_6">PerlNet Perl 6<!-- wiki-renamed-hyperlink "PerlNet Perl 6"<http://perl.net.au/wiki/Perl_6> --></a> page.</li>
