The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

The intention behind Perl 6 was good, there is no doubt about that.

It hurt Perl reputation nevertheless and the stubborn refusal to rename "the next version of Perl" to "project whatever that might become some future version of Perl" when it became clear that it's not going to be anywhere near complete any year soon was a big part of that. The project should have NEVER been called Perl 6!

1984 was supposed to be a warning,
not a manual!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
