As Perl's becoming less popular, webspace with real perl interpreter can be quite costly.

Prove it or shut up. And, I mean prove that a webserver with Perl installed is more expensive to operate than a webserver with ASP installed. Otherwise, you are spouting shit from your ass and I am not your toilet.

it's already loads of readymade code (beginners can use script archives as a first step to it)

I hope you aren't referring to the plethora of crappy code on the web that contributes to massive security holes ...

Anyway, I hope Perl 6 will not be too complex.

Fuck off. And I mean that in the worst possible way. If you don't want complex, go code in VB. I program in Perl precisely because it's complex ... when I need it to be. It makes the hard things easy and the impossible things merely hard.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
