Perl6::Str on CPAN

Perl6::Str on CPAN
Hi,

today I released Perl6::Str to CPAN. It's a module for grapheme level
string handling, and the methods are modeled closely after those of Perl 6.

I cheated a bit in that I didn't implement codepoint and byte level
semantics, since perl 5 supports them natively already.

It lacks some features, some features aren't properly tested yet (like
normalization), and some aren't planned at all (pack/unpack for example).

It's also meant as an inspiration: grapheme level string handling
doesn't have to be hard (it just becomes hard if you optimize the code ...)

All comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Moritz
