in reply to Would you suggest alternative names for Perl 6?

PerlVM, because it is a variant of Perl but requires a VM to run. Alternatively we could simply pick a code name that doesn't really mean anything but which has some subliminal association. "Perl Vista", perhaps?

    I know very little about Perl 6, but I become with one maybe philosoraptor-like question:
    If Perl 6 will get less popularity than Perl 1..5 in some years of their existence, will it be released Perl 7 with compatibility to more popular one Perl?
    And I'd add that "Perl 6 beta" seems to be more suitable name for Perl 6.
