Exactly. I am still trying to figure what was so wrong with Perl 5 in
the first place. One of the best articles i read about Perl 5 was
talking about how Perl 5 didn't need Patterns. So i stopped worrying
about building objects every time i needed to build a system. The
designers of Perl 6 seem to only care about trying to compete with the
likes of Java. WTF?
