I'm curious where you think the ideas for perl 6 came from? Any chance they might have picked up on the desires of the perl community and used those? Since perl 6 is no where near set in stone I would think now is the perfect time to voice opinions on what might be usefull in future versions of perl.
Modified language ever so slightly. Larry wall or not, just because there are plans for Perl6 doesn't mean that opening up discusion on control structures and what people would like changed is "amuzing." Maybe that statment wasn't meant as a slight (maybe i shouldn't respond in the middle of the night ;) ). Either way I think that Larry of all people should be supporting any type of community discussion on the matter even if its not in the "proper" channels mentioned in the following replies. Either way its just my two cents.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
