However, these kinds of memory leaks will be less of an issue anyway because Perl 6 will be garbage collected. Also, proper exception handling will be built into the language.
PS: I haven't seen many of the regulars here on the Perl 6 lists. There's both language design and internals streams currently happening, so everyone's interests and skills should be catered for. Please have a look at http://dev.perl.org and consider getting involved. It's interesting work and there's a similarly positive and intellectual spirit on the P6 lists to what we experience here.
