Large parts of this talk are polemic shit but it mentions 2 or 3 issues which should be addressed in perl5, either by new features or better documentation.

IMHO waiting for a year to rectify things or for perl6 to be the "cavalry" is not the right strategy.

Update

This video is going to be linked and cited at many places as "proof" that Perl is dead.

PS These issues are addressed in Perl 6, AFAIK.
