It's a bit unfortunate that the article points at the 2002 version of the Synopsis as the most recent update, but that's a minor problem. The funniest part that the article misses is the fact that the design of Perl 6 rules was not in the least based on P::RD. I'd never looked at or used P::RD when I wrote the Apocalypse. It was just convergent evolution.

Oh, it's not that sad in a Gaborean sense. It's not a bad article overall--I was just picking nits. As for slashdot, I don't really mind if Python and Ruby programmers stay confused for a few more months. :-)
