Why wait? (Score:2)

This, incidentally, is why I'm bullish on Perl 6. It appears to solve most of my Perl 5 problems. Tim Bunce has already mentioned that he plans to port DBI.pm to Perl 6, a Perl 6 CGI.pm won't be far behind (it might even be first) and I suspect that a few other core tools will quickly get ported. With those in place, and given that the real value in a business is the in-house code, if Perl 6 is stable and runs as fast as we suspect, maybe I won't be eyeing Ruby with such longing.

  I can certainly work with Ruby more, but only on a side basis. For day to day work, I'm still stuck with Perl. And still happy with Perl, to be fair. It's a great language.
