Yes, that is the idea. Just pick something you like, rework it into
Perl 6 syntax (or an approximation of it), and check in the Pugs source
tree under modules/ directory; see Locale-KeyedText in there for an
example.
I'd also encourage you to hop on IRC (freenode.net #perl6) to talk a
bit about what module(s) you are attempting to port over, so we can
be more assistance when you run into Pugs's shortcomings.

It helps to let the original author know what you're doing, and credit
them accordingly, but I don't think you need permissions to start
working.
So, let me know when you'd like to receive the committer bit. :)
Thanks,

Hello All,
This is my first post to the list, responding to the Pugs website and
getting involved. Specifically it says that Modules and Tests are
needed and I'd like to help with the development of modules for Pugs.
How does one go about this? Is there a list of priorities for modules
that need porting to Perl6/Pugs? Should I just get going with a module
that takes my fancy and try to get it to run under Pugs?
I'm also quite wary of treading on toes in doing this, do I need to get
"permission" from the original developer of a module before attempting a
port of it to Pugs?
Thanks for your assistance,
Matt
