in thread OT? Pragmatic Perl

There is no singular 'Perl Community'.

People that want this pragmatic perl I started using years ago are working on perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x,

perl was created as a tool to do the job. perl6 will be language... and one can already see that it'll take years before we've got perl6 that we can use, and decades before we can dump perl5 the way we dumped perl4.

    You still haven't said why perl6 isn't pragmatic i.e why do you think it won't let you 'do the job'. Perl 6 compiler now has its own mailing list, so perl6 isn't as far in the future as it used to be.

    And why the hurry to dump perl5?
