Really, if you think the Perl 6 we have now should have been called something other than Perl 6, then what kind of language should have been called Perl 6?

That's a very interesting one, but only answer I can honestly give is that Perl's time is up. It has been for a few years. Perl 6 could be a rewrite of Perl 5 with some extra features, for those fanatics who keep using the language.

Update: Wrote that when I was in a bad mood. I probably shouldn't have written it, even though it does reflect how I often feel about Perl.
