I don't give a shit about Perl. I can use Python, Ruby, Common Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, even JavaScript, if I want to script. People building real applications (not scripts -- what does ``script'' mean? It's one of those we all understand but can't directly define...) will use a decent high level language, not that steaming pile of shit. Apart from the grammar needing an AI to be parsed, generally being a big stack of special cases that a well-defined core could make trivial, it breeds write-only programming.
I hope that Perl and PHP will be replaced in web development and sysadmin scripting in the next ten years. It seems the failings of Perl 6 will help it along out the door and it will become irrelevant. It has metaprogramming capabilities but so do most languages. I don't even know why they are bothering.
