I know that this is incorrect, but the promise of Perl 6 has kept me away from Perl for years. I haven't touched a line of Perl since 1995, and I keep wanting to pick it back up; but then my inner curmudgeon reminds me that Perl 6 is coming "Real Soon Now" and I move on to something else. I'm sure I can't be the only one who does this. Again, I know that this isn't a valid argument, but it's enough for me to focus on other languages when I'm toying around with ideas.
