in reply to Cognitive dissonance and The Apocalypse
I tend to think of Perl 6 being "in the future" so aside from reading the Apocalypse's and Exegesis's (and being suitably impressed!) I haven't been too concerned about "learning" the language. Where I work Perl 5.005_03 is still being run on most of the servers so even when there is a Perl 6 stable release it will probably be a year or more before we catch up.
I suspect the transition will be painless for those of us not living on the bleeding edge - there will be a flurry of "and if you are running Perl 6 you would write it like this..." and "why doesn't this code work under Perl 6" type posts and in the usual superb Monastery fashion the masses will be educated :)
