It's no wonder there are issues with Perl 5 to 6 transition they went from: > They're going to merge Perl 5.12 and Perl 6 in "mid-2001" to: > There's a Perl 5.8 on the way in 2002. ^_~ That said, I think that anyone doing serious Perl 5.x work has long since abandoned the idea that Perl 6 has anything to do with Perl 5.x other than sharing the "Perl" name and Larry Wall. Maybe this is confusing to "outsiders" and the branding needs to change? It's not like the Perl 5.x line is not being maintained. Since Perl 5.10, there were some significant improvements, with consistent point releases coming out.
