That depends on exactly what you mean by "we" and "need". I think it would be terrible to that many div and mod functions as a core part of the Perl language. Most people would rarely use any of them, and merely having them there at all slightly raises the barrier of entry to Perl, making the documentation just a little bit fatter. By all means have them available as modules. Presumably people who need this stuff in Perl 5 have already created Cpan modules providing them, and the same will happen in Perl 6. Smylers
