perl bloat

why the fuck does perl have 10 000 operators and variables?
and just check out the list of core modules.

will perl6 fix this mess or will humanity be doomed to use this mess for the rest of its existence? its still better then c++, java, PHP, ruby and all that crap. is there anything that could kill perl without being shit?

Y'know, just throwing this out there, but a programming language->train made of cars doesn't make any kind of sense either, since you need both the car and cdr of the cons to make a list.
