I'm not sure how long Perlmonks is up and running, was it already there when Perl 4 was still around?

Anyway, I wonder how to avoid confusion once Perl 6 is released and some Perlmonks discussions will be about Perl 6, others about Perl 5. (Like there are already Perl 6 discussions going on.) People might use (super) search or Google and find Perl 5 answers to their questions, and thus learn from them, without knowing that what they're just reading is about the old style.

No problem for advanced coders, but how to guide the newbies?

Maybe simply mark the new discussions with "Perl 6" and even add another search parameter that defaults to "only Perl 6" or "show Perl 6 first"?
