However, I believe the real power of Perl, besides the obviously awesome regex handling, is the "huffmann" principle of making common things super-quick. Sure this is the major cause of read-only code, but it's also the reason why I use perl every time I just need things to be done.
In Perl6 they kept this principle in mind, and this is the important part IMHO.
