Perl 6 doesn't need to be salvaged. It needs to be nurtured by all of
us. One day it will be great.
*If* we could solve the PR problem ("Perl is dead! They can't ship
the new version!") then Perl 6 development could continue in relative
peace.
We need to explain that Perl 5 (5.10, 5.12 etc) is Perl and that it's
actively developed and pretty healthy. Perl 6 is an extremely
exciting research project.
Is that not the truth? Should that message not give the wider world
confidence in Perl? Does that not create the precondition for harmony
in Perl world?
