Hi Eric,
I find your point interesting but I think Perl 6 is far too much important to be just put as a flag in the postings.

In fact perlmonks is actually implicitly Perl 5 driven:
that means, that some sections, for example Obfuscation or Poetry were totally inspired by the nature of Perl (Perl 5).
Now, in some postings they say that Perl 6 is another kind of language, a language which we actually still dont know much.
Moreover, the big difference between perl 5 and perl 6 is that, while we do use perl 5, with perl 6 we just play a bit but nothing more at the moment.

So, to think that Perl 6 would fit on perlmonks structure is a bit of illusion,
and it is not worthwhile the effort of a flagging system at the moment.

On the contrary a simple Perl 6 section would be actually good to catalyze a bit the whole Perl 6 interest.

Perl 6 is so important that a section about this topic is simply natural.

Even if my question is naive and off topic, by looking at the past we see that it was periodically posted many times, so I would say, if 4-5 monks asks for a topic, this topic has a right to existence!

Please don't be structural, be functional!

Davide
