Perl 6: The upcoming Perl 6 means I'll have to invest a lot of time to understand how it works.
Only if you're going to work with it. New languages pop up all the time - but that doesn't mean I'm spending time on it to learn them.
IPv6: It was promoted on the news & published on many websites that people will start to acquire/use IPv6
Buhahahhaha. Right. "We're running out of IPv4 addresses!". "Help, the internet will die next year!". People have been saying that for over a decade. And IPv6 still isn't significant. Besides, you can have a good idea of networking currently, without knowing all the details of IPv4. That doesn't change if IPv6 comes around.
HTML5: The new HTML 5
Yeah? Really? How long do you think it'll take before everyone has an HTML5 capable browser? If you learn one new element a week, you'll be ready on time.
Power Shell: This one might be old
Old? I've never heard of it. What makes you think you have to learn it?
So what are your plans, And How you're willing to deal with this?
Not. Heh, 15 years ago, I was using the same main programming languages as I use now (Perl/SQL), the same family of OSses as I use now (Linux/Unix), the same shells I use now (bash/sh), the same low level networking protocols (Ethernet, IPv4, TCP, UDP) as I use now, the same high level networking protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP) as I use now, the same document markup as I use now (HTML, LaTeX), etc, etc. A few new things happened in those 15 years (CSS, XML) I had to spend time learning something about, but nothing shocking or important. Nothing complicated to learn overnight.

Heh, this is computer stuff we're talking about. Despite people having the opposite idea, things don't change rapidly. Nor is any of it rocket science.
