Now I would like to get some of the metadata for that page like expiration
date, length, content type, etc. How?

Moreover, the http server would return a "404" in case the remote document
is not found (probably not under the example above, but...) I would like
ability to trap such type of remote exceptions.

To solve this versioning issue, is there a way Perl 6 compiler can just
figure out what's being fed?  I mean, without saying anything using options
or pragmas. There must be a way by analyzing the syntax or the context to
find out if it's p5 or p6. Let the computer do the work.
