I don't view it as a problem, and I didn't mean to imply that I thought Perl5 would be any sort of second-string language, only that it may very well become relegated to tasks other than a production language. This might be along the same lines as C in comparison to C++. I still use C and suspect that I will still use Perl5. I also use much of the supported C 'subset' when using C++, and suspect that the same will hold true of the Perl5 'subset' (Yes, I know that neither is truly a subset, but for lack of a better term).
