If you want to seek out Perl 6, go find it. You don't *have* to keep current; they haven't decided on what they're doing yet.

Don't come to a Perl 5 discussion center (a REAL world, business language, of practical importance and use to everyone, designed for practical application, not theoretical mumblings), and then go off on tangents about a theoretical experiment in CS theory that may never go anywhere.

It's rude. Wouldn't YOU be annoyed if your newspaper cut the sports and weather pages to talk about the editor's relationship with his girlfriend; and continued to do it for months on end? I'd stop subscribing; and yes, I'd call and complain, to let them know they'ld lost a subscriber. If it had *been* a good newspaper, I'd call several times to complain before I gave up.

Perhaps I should just give up on Perlmonks.
