we waited for them since the very beginning of the millenium, i played with both and here is the difference: DNF is very desapointed and is not the revolution i expected. Perl6 is a game changer and push the idea of "scripting" way beyond i was imagining it (and i played with a lot of langages)
Perl 6 is more than a scripting language. It clearly has elements of a very general high level language that can scale to large program sizes.
