Oh, I am not scared of learning it it, I like learning things. It just seems that one of the more common (or at least the more valid) criticisms of Perl is that its encouragement of highly individualistic coding styles makes collaborative development more difficult; and it seems that the response to that with Perl 6 is: "Oh yeah, you think that was something? Well get a load of this!"
It's like the TIFF spec, I'm pretty sure that a random string of bytes has about a 50% chance of being a valid TIFF file, which makes writing a parser for the format quite a PITA.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
