I think it's pretty safe to say at this point that Perl 6 will never really arrive. If a language doesn't have a practical implementation after well over a decade, it probably never will. This is even more true given that many of its features are now available, often in a better form, in many other mainstream languages. At least Python 3 exists, and is usable for production-grade systems. Its adoption may not have been as quick as anticipated, but at least it does exist, and it is usable.
