So the updates to perl5 are not caused by the fact that perl6 is still in the forge, they are caused because the language keeps evolving, and as we in the perl comunity always have done in the past, we still keep copying the good ideas of other languages. For example, the latest perl 5.10, copies good ideas from python ruby and perl6 :). See? We even copy from languages that are not released yet :) Best regards, Hi,
