I wouldn't ban Perl6; but then I'd be a whole heck've a lot freer about what constitutes an on topic discussion here.

We don't want people posting recipes, or links to cat vids or product promos; but there is much that is indirectly related to Perl, and programmers using Perl for all or part of work that it seems would be a) helpful to many; b) interesting to many; c) instructive to many; d) useful in keeping this place alive.

I will register my dismay & frustration, even anger, at the deliberate dead-ending of the Perl 5 line. But that boat sunk 13 years ago :(

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
