Looking over my post, I can see how you or anyone else might take that as an insult. It was not intended as such and I apologize to you and anyone else how took it as such.
When someone mentions making major or even minor changes to PerlMonks or to Perl for that matter, some people do get frantic about it. Perhaps I should have used <sarcastic>, <unwashed masses> or <poor attempt at humor> instead.
Perl5 will still work with Perl6. As for your example, if that were posted now, what would you say? I'd say something along the lines of "Where's the rest of the code? Is this 5.6.x, 5.8.x or some other version of Perl?"

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.
