That is incredibly disingenuous, Liz. As you know better than most other people, The Perl Foundation spends money to sponsor technical conferences under the "Perl6" name, using the butterfly logo as the sponsor logo, and has tables at them with "P6" banners and other paraphernalia.

It's notable that the TPF blurb you cited makes no mention of the fact that Perl 5 and "P6" are separate languages, "sisters in the same family", etc., even though this is the apparently official position as published on perl.org. But it's not surprising, given that your own thoughts on the matter are public record (2018-01-17):

Necessary evil for what, Liz? For maintaining the pretense that "P6" was not in fact intended to displace Perl? If you mean something else, please clarify.

As for your other absurd assertion: to say that because TPF is the legal umbrella for PerlMonks, and because PM does not (in your assertion) promote "P6", therefore TPF cannot be promoting "P6", is not only a complete syllogism, it flies in the face of the fact that PerlMonks (against the wishes of some of its members) does carry "P6" promotional announcements, often front-paging them.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
