So what is left is small steps, like adding adjectives 'Modern Perl' or maybe 'The Perl Ecosystem' (the second one would refer to CPAN and the community - the things that are really unique about Perl).One more thought - if eventually we get Perl6 that is workable (I don't follow Perl6 too close - but from what I do hear from the project I am pretty confident that we'll have Perl6 quite soon - with just one concern - it can be too slow for anything practical right now) - so when we finally get workable Perl6 - it can generate quite a bit of buzz just because of the whole negativity that surrounds the project. It would be a great surprise - so it has potential to change the way people think. OK - I agree, but we’ll not change the name - I just cannot imagine a scenario where this could happen.
