What's in a name.
Is it also
CPAN is the Comprehensive Parrot Archive Network
CPAN is the Comprehensive Pieton Archive Network
CPAN is the Comprehensive Pony Archive Network
CPAN is the Comprehensive PHP Archive Network
CPAN is the Comprehensive PRuby Archive Network
So, where do you stop?
Perl6 and Perl5 have some things in common, just like PHP and Perl5.
Some people say that Perl6 is a different language, not a next
generation of Perl5.
Do we need to install Perl5 on our system to get access to the
install tools to install Perl6 modules?
