Short answer: Nothing

Personally I stepped back from following the apocalypses, for reasons similar to your reasons for not playing with Perl6 yet. I.e no sandbox, (I program in perl therefor I must too lazy to set one up :) ), etc.. I'm also a sysadmin, and am daily banging out perl5 code. I don't want to corrupt my mental perl5 namespace with perl6 syntax just yet, and I am anal enough that I'd go back through all my code updating it to be as compliant as possible. Frankly I don't have that time to spend, so I'm not even going to tempt myself.

That doesn't mean I'm not excited about it, or even disinterested. I'm simply appreciating Larry and company's magic from afar, and once its stable and bless'd you can be sure I'll be hacking away.

P.s I'm scared of some of those discussions too, so you aren't alone on that note :)
