What scares me the most is that I'm not seeing a lot of acceptance of Perl6 from the perl community. I haven't really looked at it myself, but to hear other people talking, it's virtually a new language. My question is, why are they even doing a Perl6? There doesn't appear to be a need (or even a desire) for it.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it - even if
I have said it - unless it agrees with your own reason and your own 
common sense.
