Hi,
Probably i cannot answer all your questions. But i can answer some related to perl6(pugs) perl 6 is the complete new language which has no resemblence to perl 5 which is written in haskell by audrey tang You can go through these url's to know more about it http://pugscode.org/ http://dev.perl.org/perl6/ Especially on pugscode.org you can see on left hand side a section called slides, in that you can see a presentation given by Audrey tang( intro to pugs ) which will brief the features about pugs and its features. If any one wants to try out pugs or any information related to that, i would be delighted to help them out -srini
