Focusing on the community is a strange take. I dont know much about Perl6 or care...anymore than I knew anout PHP6. Perl is syntactically complete and has great library support.
People dont choose Perl because it's too flexible in how to do things ie what is idiomatic in Perl...well it depends on how well you know Perl. This hurts readability and adoption. It also has warts like any other language but thats hard to detect when reading code is an issue.
The best parts of Perl have already been adopted by other languages. No reason to use Perl that I can see.
