Yeah, Perl 5 pays the bills. I code in it every day. I am most fluent in Perl. My point is that the long-delay of Perl 6 and the large volumes of crusty CGI code around has created an image problem.

CGI is filthy, sure. But being able to run your filthy hack of a config file parser on an unpatched HPUX box from circa 30,000 BC with no changes?
That's cool. Maybe not cool on the same axis as Rails and Twitter but cool nonetheless.
