Well, aside from what is actually *in* Perl 6 currently, there are a

Some other features:
1) You can write your program in any combination of programming styles
and languages, as you see fit. Thus, you can use your OO library
written in Ruby, that really fast C routine, and your Perl code, all
in one place.
2) There are a large number of operators that support

You are probably right, but are the twigils actually special? or is

dot sigils are not actually special. They are required on has-variables
