that means, that some sections, for example Obfuscation or Poetry were totally inspired by the nature of Perl (Perl 5).

OT, but makes me wonder: will 6 make for better or worse obfu? The absence of a zillion predefined variables is a counter argument. But the modifiable grammar makes me dream of whole new scenarios that I... well, cannot even dream of!!

Now, in some postings they say that Perl 6 is another kind of language, a language which we actually still dont know much.

Nope, it's another language of of the same kind as Perl 5. In a sense, it aims at bringing the qualities of the latter to new heights.

On the contrary a simple Perl 6 section would be actually good to catalyze a bit the whole Perl 6 interest.

Perl 6 is so important that a section about this topic is simply natural.

The fact is that currently the general consensus has always been contrary to your assumption. And as you said some people already have asked the same thing. The fine point is that general consensus is made by people and, with people, it changes over time. So just stay tuned. In the meantime, it seems that PM is not just the best place to discuss Perl 6 related stuff... although occasionally it happens, and TimToady often takes part to the discussions. By contrast, in clpmisc, which is my other favourite Perl resource, Perl 6 discussions tend to arise even more sparsely: in fact there the focus is strongly on how to do things in Perl, not "about Perl". (Just think about it much like a SoPW-like thingie only, but with a grain of salt of course.) OTOH there are the p6* MLs, various blogs, e.g. audreyt'ss and other places much better suited if not strictly dedicated to Perl 6 stuff. I also know that summaries and interesting articles about development and what not get posted regularly to use Perl; so reports may be similarly posted here, but all in all evidence is that we don't see, as a community, a compelling necessity to do so...
