in reply to alpha/beta perl6 versions

If you don't like principles on which Perl6 based, just don't use it. Note that Perl6 is not a next version of Perl5, it's another language. Perl5 development won't stop after Perl6 will be released, so there will be no need to move to Perl6 unless you want it.

You can find development releases of Perl6 implementation Rakudo on http://rakudo.org.
