Then it needs to get out of the way.

Update:

Years ago, I was very enthusiastic about Perl6. But, my attempts at actually using it have been frustrating.

Perl5 (plus CPAN) helps me get real work done.

Nevertheless, I hear, with increasing frequency, how Perl is stuck in the 90s and what little relevance it still has is solely due to maintaining legacy systems made in the 90s.

I know this isn't true, but it is growing perception. And that perception will negatively impact Perl6 as well. I can already hear the reaction: "6? Really? Shouldn't it be 25 by now?"
