With all these different implementations how hard is it to access C libraries and/or make modules that use C?

As simple as writing a Perl6 signature for your C function. A proper solution for deploying your own libraries has yet to arrive (you can look up library names at runtime and compile code via the module manager, but imo it's still rather ad-hoc).
