You should stick with perl 5.
You can use perl 5 today much more easily than e.g. pugs, which is definately not a stable platform (albeit lots of fun). I do suggest you look at, and familiarize yourselves with Perl 6, the pugs project, the synopses, etc, and design something that is easily portable to Perl 6. This is mostly a design issue - Perl 6 has roles, grammars, better support for higher order functions, etc. This means that while some things look equally ugly in Perl 5, one of them might be beautiful and easy to read in Perl 6 - so this could affect your decisions. Much more important, IMHO, is community involvement and interoperability. If you want this Oak project to work out well, please make sure that:
