I believe my friend Your Mother is overstating both the effects of the opprobrobium Perl faces in the real business world, and the benefits of the "contributions" of Liz M and the "Perl6" crew. As someone (chromatic?) said somewhere, "say() and ... ?"

I believe I did say that, but I think that quote is a little misleading. If I recall correctly, the context was "What are the features that were successfully ported from P6 to Perl as-is?" My answer was (and is) say and ... (the yadda operator).
