I was upset when I knew that Perl 6 is a different language and not compatible with Perl and have the similar name, and appeared after Perl v5. Its is messy; practically humans think that number which goes after the name means version or something like that.
I think that a name for that new language could have to match /^Perl\s?\D.*$/i or /^\w+\sPerl$/i, but not /^Perl\s?\d+$/i.
Maybe it could be something like "Perlix", "Perlox", "Perl*". I liked Perlox or Perlex, where maybe -ex could mean 'extended', and -ox could mean that it has optimized (o) regexes (say DFA on simple search pattern), and it doesn't count spaces in regex by default (x).
Now it is like forbidden for Perl v1..5 to have v6.

UPD. Sorry for mis-searching. And thanks for very nice nodes, especially very funny very first!
