Not sure if this has been posted yet (I didn't see it) but...

A synopsis of the latest state of the onion is here on www.perl.com from Simon Cozens.

Some interesting clarifications and points. The coolest thing I saw was a mooted perl parser written in perl... The more I see of Perl 6, the more I like it, although I have the sneaking suspicion that it will be a huge un-re-learning curve.

Such is life.
