Answer 1

According to perlwiki

note: As of May 2012, none of the Perl 6 compilers yet implement this feature.

According to adventcalendar

Some basic modules are usable through slang feature but only a few of them like Config, Cwd and English are available.

Answer 2

Use Inline::Perl5 to embed arbitrary Perl code in Raku or use Perl libraries as if they were Raku libraries.

Inline::Perl5 appropriately packages and wraps a regular perl interpreter in MoarVM so that Rakudo can interop with Perl. The combination already supports:

• useing Perl modules, including ones that use XS, in Raku
• Using Perl objects in Raku and vice-versa
• Writing, in Raku, sub-classes of Perl classes

nine, the author of the Inline::Perl5 module, has done some presentations about it and its use that are available on youtube:

• A 3 minute lightning talk about Inline::Perl5 that nine presented the day after the project began in 2014;
• Longer presentations about Inline::Perl5.
