Perl 6 was a huge mistake; it's a different language and should have never had the same name. I support renaming it so we can all forget about it and have Perl 7 be a direct, mostly backwards compatible descendant of Perl 5 with feature enhancements. This whole Perl 6 nonsense was the reason I jumped to Python many years ago.
