On a more upbeat note, instead of doing an comparison/contrast article with Perl v. Java, why not pick an interesting feature of Perl6 and write up a tutorial on how to best use it? Some ideas...
- The Perl6 Grammar Engine: The Cure For All your Parsing Ailments
- Macros. Done Right.
- Hyperactive Hyperoperators
- Junctions For The Rest Of Us
- Autothreading, Autothreading, Autothreading.
