"I thought perl6 was meant to be a natural upgrade, but if there is a competition between them, why hijack its name and version path?"

El_Che  "Welcome to the first edition of Learning Perl 6, a book title that sounds similar to others you may have read and I may have written. This one, however, is my first book about the language called “Perl 6.” I know the name is a bit confusing; I’m not in charge of that part. I’m just the book writer." <-- the first paragraph of Learning Perl 6 :)

Any upvotes for comment on that Perl 6 should've been announced as a new language?

Troll assuming Perl 6 is Perl:

Hopefully will be a list of replies with cases FOR the "Perl 6" name:

Having the "Perl 6" name attaches valid critiques of Perl 5
to us, even though they are not valid in Perl 6.
This makes it very difficult to own the word "modern" 
in the eyes of the prospects:

In addition, even after being told Perl 6 is a whole new
language, it appears the people still mentally link the
two languages together and try to knee-jerk assess whether
this new language still has any of the old negatives:

People completely ignorant that Perl 6 is not a next Perl
but a completely new and modern language:

"That post actual points out a counter-point to people who say a new name for
    the language will nullify google results. It's actually a good thing in this
    case, where the user's saying they're getting outdated results :P"
