First, I have to (sheepishly) stand up on the side of Perl6 (ok, so maybe one foot is across the line). I like the fact that perl6-language is at least making an effort to fix the things that we don't like in Perl5. There are things in it that concern me some, but I can't try it so I don't know if I should be concerned. I believe that one of the first Apocalypses did state something to the effect that some of the things in Perl5 would get broken, but that there would be a defined migration path. There shouldn't be any surprises here. I also have been very impressed with Parrot (although I haven't seen it recently). Second, I personally would like to see a Perl5 on Parrot. I don't see any reason why the Perl5 folks can't continue to develop it by migrating to Parrot. Who knows, perhaps Perl5 and Perl6 will become different products. Maybe Perl5 could be for admins and quick scripts, and Perl6 for more complex projects. That's my 2 bits, Grant M.
