I'm curious. What new ground do you think Perl 6 is breaking? It's borrowing lots from other languages but I don't see anything really new.
That's just it. Like perl5, it's borrowing all the great features from other languages, enhancing them, makeing them perlish, thus creating a cohesive and coherent, language (platform). Also, almost every perl5 feature is being continually improved, like the regex engine (you won't need flex/bison anymore). Then there are awsome hyperoperators, and generators ... complete programmer satisfaction ;)
