i say get into as much as you want. perl 6 is 2 years away from even
pre-alpha release and even once perl 6 is out there, it will be another 4
years before the PHBs let their underlings upgrade. so go for it, write
copious documentation. if for no other reason than the ability to one day
look back on our perl 5 code and realize what we were thinking. :)
