I'm not sure that's going to be necessary. The transition from Perl4 to Perl5 seems to have happened pretty seamlessly, with newer idioms slowly replacing older ones. I think it'll be interesting (entertaining, fun, perhaps even a little frustrating) to watch the Community adapt to Perl6 when it's released.

It may be wise to begin training ourselves to mention the Perl version, but I think that's really all the differentiation we'll need. I really don't think we'll need a separate site. (At least I hope not.)

Indeed, there may be some benefit to keeping the new lessons on the same site, as that will help communicate the availability of the new version, as well as people's experiences with it.

Update: Ack. Typo. Fixed. (Feel free to tell me. Puhleeeessssse, Eddie.)
