I don't think that's the answer. The question (as I understand it) is more how to increase the "brand awareness" and improve the image of Perl, not how to help developing Perl 6. Though of course it's also important. I don't have a good answer though.

All I can and will do is force an update to the "marketing web" for the project I work on to give Perl the credit it deserves. (In case the recruiters wondered what is behind the system that delivers their ads to job boards.) And do a presentation for fellow developers in other teams on the Perl based tools we have and what could the Monster build process have been if only someone paid attention. A bit too late since they go the ASP.Net direction even regarding the messagizing/i18n, but a little envy can never hurt.
