Well Perl6 isn't Perl, it's a successor to Perl. Like Perl did, Perl6
took a lot of good parts out of other languages (like Perl, Haskell,
Java, etc.) to become the rather perfect language it now is.

By that reasoning Perl 5 isn't Perl either. Every new major version
of Perl has had some pretty radical stuff in it. That said, it is a
design goal to let the users still write Perl 5 syntax in a
compatibility mode, but if you do that then you miss out on all of the
cool stuff like hyperoperators, the new rule based regexes, pointy
blocks, etc.
