The Perl Survey and Perl 6
Permanent link
Today I've participated in The Perl Survey, and I want to encourage you to do the same.
I was a bit disappointed that the list of Perl versions didn't include any Perl 6 - which I use sufficiently to mark that option if it existed.
It's a sad fact that parts of the Perl community haven't realized that Perl 6 is more than a dream, but comes with programs you can run today. Association with or funding from TPF doesn't seem to make you immune to that misconception.
