People will be writing code in per5 for years, even
if everyone switches to perl6 the moment the first stable
version is released. Remember that the perl6 journey was
started 3 years ago, and Larry hasn't even finished the
language specification yet. Looking at the rate of the apocalypses, if you now start a 6 month project to write a
perl5 module, you will be finished before the next apocalypse.
Not writing a perl5 module because you want to wait for perl6
would be as silly as the Beatles having said in the '60s,
"we won't record this album just yet - we'll wait for CDs to
arrive".

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
