It's about time
The perl 6 issue has caused much confusion and is limiting future adoption of perl.
Out of all the languages we use, perl 5 is the clear winner in dollars profit per line of code, lines of code needing changes per year and feature set per line of code. Some of the other languages have maintenance costs that are more than 4 times maintenance cost of the perl code base.
Raku has some very interesting concepts and I recommend watching one of Damian Conway's talks about its advanced features.
