I'm just pointing out that it doesn't have to be done by the development team. I plan on using the above script, or one similar to it, to separate Perl 5 and Perl 6 for some time to come. Of course, I suppose you need to know that you can change what the Perl Binary is installed as in the ./configure script in order to do this. Perhaps it would make sense for this to be the standard in the installation. It wouldn't be hard for people creating new code to point to /usr/bin/perl6, and it would be very easy for the Perl compiler to differentiate between Perl 5 and Perl 6

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).
