Perl 6 advent post - Constants

Let's get astroPhysical! - Constants in Perl 6

I wrote my first Perl 6 program (that is, one that worked) the day before the London Perl Workshop where I proudly told people. So, JJ says "Why don't you write an Advent calendar post for Perl 6?"

With only one program under my belt, what do I have to write about? Well ... I authored Astro::Constants in Perl 5, so how hard would it be to migrate it to Perl 6?

Since I couldn't keep my big gob shut, I give you the tale of a Perl 5 module author wandering through the Perl 6 landscape.
