Decades of programming in many languages have convinced me that Perl excels in every aspect. But I have to agree with Rajeev that Perl 6 has become a theory and needs evidence of practical application.
In my mind there is no doubt of the benefits in Perl, but what place does it have? And what are its competitors? As CGI, Perl falls behind PHP by having to 'print' the entire HTML page. So what is its place?
