Has anyone gotten any news on the status of Perl6? I have been reading through the mailing lists and found nothing recent. The last talks seem to be more than a year old. I guess Perl5 is really the last version. A new version of Perl5 was just released which is good news for people like me who make a living doing Perl.

Today (December 18th, 2007) the Perl Foundation announces the release of Perl 5.10, the first major upgrade to the wildly popular dynamic programming language in over five years. This latest version builds on the successful 5.8.x series by adding powerful new language features and improving the Perl interpreter itself. The Perl development team, called the the Perl Porters, have taken features and inspiration from the ambitious Perl 6 project, as well as from chiefly academic languages and blended them with Perl's pragmatic view to practicality and usefulness.

I just wish someone would write some insider info on Perl 6 before the new year.
