Most people don't believe that Perl 6 is "the next version of Perl".
Citation please.
The language is different enough that "Perl 6" isn't an appropriate name.
The one person who gets to choose the name disagrees.
... each time you say "Perl 6", Perl5 dies a little.
If only that had been true of Perl 5 and Perl 4! Then again, I suppose that adding lexical variables, first-class functions, method dispatch, a library system, and true nested data structures is less of a leap than adding function signatures, a metamodel, multi dispatch, grammars, continuations, junctions, hyperoperators, pervasive laziness, ubiquitous blocks, and I've forgotten a few.

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.
