If you want to understand if Perl 5 will go into maintenance mode, I think the answer is NO. Perl 5 is the current Perl version and will be for quite some time. Asking about a Perl 6 release date will just get you defensive responses from the Perl 6 folks, if that's any indication. If you want to understand what all the whining is about, check out this journal entry. Perl 6 folks read it and say, "Yes! That's right!" Outsiders (everyone else in the world) read it and ask WTF??? While the Perl 6 detractors lay it on a bit thick, I happen to believe that the Perl 6 supporters are not helping Perl's reputation by all their defensive, misconstruing complaints about outsiders. My two cents. But Perl 5 works great, I use it daily, and all the back and forth over whose compiler is bigger is really annoying. Cheers! Back to work for me.
