There isn't yet a module repository for Perl 6 as sophisticated as CPAN.
But L<modules.perl6.org|http://modules.perl6.org/> has a list of known

those that work with L<rakudo|http://rakudo.org/>.
There isn't yet a module repository for Perl 6 as sophisticated as CPAN. But
L<modules.perl6.org|http://modules.perl6.org/> has a list of known Perl 6
modules called the "ecosystem" hosted on github, and
L<panda|https://github.com/tadzik/panda/> can install those that work with
L<rakudo|http://rakudo.org/>.
Support for installing Perl 6 modules from the Perl 5 CPAN is on its way.
=head2 Does Rakudo have a core standard library?
Rakudo is a compiler release with minimal batteries included rather like the
linux kernel itself.
Rakudo Star is a distribution of rakudo which ships with some useful modules
and many more can be installed from the ecosystem.
