Ack. I just wanted to add my opinion that combining them with "perl" doesn't seem to be a good idea. And I'm not sure if we need perl6 _now_, given the amount of packages. OTOH, it might make sense to add it (and golang) since updating the list of sections in all tools in one go might save some future work.
