Ok. So here is something revolutionary.
Free up "Perl 6" for a future generation of Perl 5 and remove the ceiling
on the perl 5 language. Perl 6 has become more than a major iteration,
hasn't it?
Perl on parrot
Perl on jam
Perl on mono
Lots of space for a five from six once you vacate the lot.
Thought the conversation felt like bikeshedding but... My point still
stands. This is a new language targetted at a post php world. The
significance of a version number will be lost outside the perl echo chamber
and in that context seen as baggage... IMHO... YMMV...

Well, for what it's worth, as an outsider - IMHO, leaving "perl" behinds a
good thing. Love it or loath it, we live in a js/python/jvm leaning world.
Perl was great, but it's dated. Why have the baggage? Rakudo is a new
language. Treat it as such - best hope for it. In layman's terms an
informal "P

also maintain perls reputation for generous use of squiggles.

I think James Bowery's comments are intended to address a real need for
programming languages to work with units of measurement. It might even
prevent aircraft accidents which have really happened because fuel was
delivered in Canadian gallons, or kilograms, when the pilots request was

Have a read of this:
http://www.parrot.org/
The parrot project is to build a virtual machine for dynamic languages, like
perl 6.
