Hi,
on #perl6, we were wondering how to use() modules from foreign
languages which have an incompatible identifier syntax. E.g.:
use perl5:Foo::Bar; # fine, no problem
# Load JavaScript modules from JSAN
use jsan:Test.Simple; # should we simply accept the dot, or...
use jsan:Test::Simple; # ask users to write this?

In my opinion we translate the foreign namespace into a perlish
one... It's more "at home", and at some point some language which
uses syntax errors for package qualifiers (Acme::Don't, anyone?) is
obund to pop up, and then it'll be just inconsistent.
