The man himself will set me straight if it is of interest to him

Based on this classic TimToady-esque If someone decides I'm ugly and beats my face to a pulp, and later I get a face transplant, am I still me? response, I'll bet 50p (assuming you live in the country implied by your name and therefore enjoy a bet) on Larry holding the view that Perl 6 is a rewrite of Perl 5. :)

No. Despite my location, I'm not a betting man. But if I was, I'd confine my flutters to things with better odds of predictability that an American's use of English--pachinko, spread bets or snow on christmas day :) More seriously. To my mind a re-write implies writing, something that was already written, again. Perl 6 had (has?) never been written before, so it cannot be a rewrite. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
