I agree.
A bit of extra info in the META.yaml should be enough to let all
the relevant tools (CPAN(\.pm|PLUS), search.cpan.org, etc) be
sufficiently smart. A Perl5 CPAN.pm would completely disregard
Perl6 modules and vice versa; the search engine would allow
excluding one or the other set; etc.
But we’ll need to smarten the tools very soon. Perl6 is looming,
and people have started to write code in it, so we’re really
already within the time window for upgrading the infrastructure
to avoid problems. Curtis is right, we need to square this away
soon.
