It is time to fork Perl.

I think you have already made the case for something far more radical than just that. Almost everything added to the syntax since 5.10, and several of those added at 5.10, should be backed out completely. I like your cleanperl idea, but seriously doubt that it will ever come to pass whilst the loonies run the asylum.
