I was reading Apoc 4 and while marveling at the elegence of what Larry's

What I don't want to start (and I may have done so anyway) is a simple
name war. If you feel emotionally attached to Perl, then fine, so am
I. But if you feel that there is some compelling logic here that will
affect the community, I would be very interested.

The perl5-to-perl6 translator should handle Perl 4 as well. It might

Perl6 isn't going to make everyone happy.
That's right, it isn't. Nor should it strive to.
