Most people I've talked to aren't giving Perl6 too much thought as it's
still a lofty goal/idea rather than something coming down the pipe to a
server near you today. Why worry about the nebulous concept of 'future
Perl' when it's a long way off unless you are looking for an excuse to bag
it?
I would think that people should worry more about the lack of 5.6.1 being
released and the long-term maintainence of Perl5 since it is what they are
using now and what they will continue to use for the next 2 years or more.
