GSoC Perl 6 task proposal

gistfile1.txt

Make a binding from Perl 6 to an XML parsing library. Make it possible to
call out to the library, and to have it return with a data structure
representing the parsed XML.

One possible possibility here is to have the returned data structure be in its
native C form, i.e. not necessarily wrapped in Perl 6 objects. Making use of
jnthn's work on representations, it would still be possible to interact with
the data structure, treating it as real Perl 6 objects with attributes, methods
etc. This would create a best-of-two-worlds situation, giving us the speed
of C and the convenience of Perl 6.
