    be announced before Perl 6 is released. Of course, Perl 7 will be able to parse any known language, including APL.

      If Perl can parse itself, it truly WILL be capable of parsing any language... including English.

    I thought Perl 6 already ran LOLCODE!
      And Perl 7 will compile OOPSCODE.

    Perl 7 will write itself, raise babies, and take over the world.

      Thatnks for the refernce to kurila. I really like some of the syntax changes, but some others seem to be changes for the sake of change. It's an interesting project, and I'll be keeping an eye on it for ideas about alternative ways to do things in my DSLs.

    I'm thinking Perl 7 will pretty much be RAIF-POOL.
