- first Perl 5 is here, and will be here for a long time,even after Perl 6 is released. Perl 6 being available does not mean you will be forced to upgrade, you will still be able to use Perl 5, including by using Perl 6 in compatibility mode as described in Apocalypse 1
- the second comment is that Perl 6 is still Perl: I attended Damian's talk on Perl 6 where he converted a bunch of real-life scripts from Perl 5 to Perl 6. The result was still very much Perlish. It really looked like Perl, only better, whithout some of the clunkiest parts of the language . Too bad I can't find an online version.
So fear no more, your project will still run in Perl 5 AND in Perl 6, and you will not have to completely re-learn the language, just get used to a slightly different, but usually simpler, syntax.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
