Here's another point that I'd've made here even without the recent appearance of a conveniently related article on Perl.com: mod_parrot will probably be a huge boon in the web arena.

PHP/Parrot, Python/Parrot, Ruby/Parrot and others more are in various stages of development and will probably see the light of day much sooner than Perl6. Because these all target Parrot, mod_php can be written in PHP/Parrot, mod_python can be written in Python/Parrot, and mod_perl will be written in Perl6. Since the other languages can target mod_parrot now (as in much sooner than Perl6), mod_parrot will mature long before Perl6 hits the stage. These other languages will also provide experience with the implementation of mod_foolanguage on top of mod_parrot.

I forsee that as a result, once Perl6 is implementable, an initial implementation of mod_perl will happen in next to no time flat.

Makeshifts last the longest.
