Recently I had time to think about the $ symbol we use in Perl.

I think Perl has been using the USD symbol for too long, and I'm now sure
that it's time to replace it. After some research I came to the conclusion 
that the best fit is the euro symbol (€).

So, spread the word, Perl 6 will require you to replace all the $ in your 
scripts with €. That's just a regex after all...
