in reply to To 6 or not to 6

The Perl6 project is actually two projects - there's the design of the Perl6 language and the design of the VM, called Parrot.

The cool thing about this is that Perl5 will run on Parrot through a project called Ponie. This means that you don't have to bet on Perl5 or Perl6 because both will be supported on Parrot.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Note that searching for ponie on CPAN returns as its first hit Acme::Pony which is totally unrelated :-)
