My favorite feature would have to be the clean up of the OO layer. It's going to make my life a lot easier.
I'm also looking forward to:
- Parrot - because I like multi-language programming.
- PRE/POST/wrap - because they look like they will let me write design-by-contract code easily.
- macros - because domain specific languages rock and source filters are evil.
- the type system - I like compile time errors. I like the code to document itself.
- function "style" - things like lazy lists and simple currying making it easier for me to code in a functional style if I want.
- it still looks like perl5 - I can still write a quick'n'dirty script if I need to.
Actually, I'm looking forward to pretty much everything I've heard about perl6 ;-)

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.
