Having said that here's my idea:
Basically, the perl community has largely adopted TIMTOWTDI as a philosophy
(as well as DWIM, but that's harder to model). For that, a cluster of arrows
in different directions seems fitting:

I personally like the idea of the last one (retains geek cred).
[warning: light-hearted humor ahead]
There's also the notion that perl6's scope has creeped to accommodate a
large enough set of ideas. Seems like an appropriate logo:
