in reply to perl5 vs perl6

Perl6 is still some time off, and you will not have to use it, just like you do not have to use another language today. If you don't want to be the first one to try it out, that's understandable, but then you'd have to wait till someone else does. It would be hard to make a good chart like you want because perl6 doesn't exist yet, and these comparisons really make more sense after there's some experience with (both) the things they're comparing.

Not a comparison, but a nice chart to look at: Mark Lentczner's Periodic Table of Perl6 Operators.

There almost certainly will be an embedded perl module for apache. But who knows, maybe it'll be for a newer version of apache only :)

    Does a "Periodic Table of Perl5 Operators" exist?

      Not that I know. Interesting project idea, though, and its realization may be useful for comparisons such as the OP wants to make.

    Totally true, i know. but since they're woring on perl6 an Parrot for quite some time now (since 2001?) i was hoping that someone alreaddy did.
