Don't wait for Perl 6 (Score:2)
Yes I know I should wait for Perl 6, blah blah blah, but I have reasons for doing this so don't try and persuade me not to
Why should you wait for Perl 6? Perl 5 is a perfectly viable platform for such experiments. I expect Perl 6 to arrive eventually and be worth moving to, but many people are still skeptical. Skeptical or not, the Perl 6 development effort ignited some spectacular development fireworks in the world of Perl 5, and we're all reaping the benefits. If you have ideas, don't let anyone dissuade you.
