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?

Perl is poetry. It's a scripting language, not technically a programming language, and there are so many special variables to reflect that (by design) you cannot affect core behaviour through function calls. The core modules define the keywords of the language, as well as special behaviour (ex. INIT et al) used by other modules. Its flexibility and beauty is at these costs.
