At The Second O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention, Larry Wall
announced Perl6 development would begin in earnest. Perl6 was an oft
used term for Chip Salzenberg's project to rewrite Perl in C++ named
-Topaz. However, Topaz should not be confused with the nisus to rewrite
-Perl while keeping the lessons learned from other software, as well as
-Perl5, in mind.
+Topaz. However, Topaz provided valuable insights to the next version
+of Perl and its implementation, but was ultimately abandoned.
-If you have a desire to help in the crusade to make Perl a better place

+If you want to learn more about Perl6, or have a desire to help in

-The first alpha release is expected by Summer 2001.
+Perl6 is not scheduled for release yet, and Perl5 will still be supported
+for quite awhile after its release. Do not wait for Perl6 to do whatever
+you need to do.
