Perl

With Perl 6 coming out, is Perl worth learning? (complete newbie to Perl here)

On a side note, does having a BDFL actually benefit the progress of a language in any way?

Do you like freedom? Perl == freedom. You can write a clear code or you can write a short code. Try it, you won't regret it.

INB4 Perl is for faggots, Lisp is better.
