Rumor control time. Perl 6 will, for the most part, work just fine if you accidentally feed it Perl 5. Larry Wall made this design decision clear right from Apocalypse 1. This is, in fact, not an optional decision. There is a tremendous installed Perl 5 code base, and it would be suicide for Perl 6 to not support it in a natural and direct fashion.
