The available feature set, the ease of install, and the active pace of development is amazing. Mojolicious is in a class by itself, for any language.

This is a clear example of folks not really knowing what they're talking about.
Perl6 is a language spec, not a language implementation. Check out Rakudo if you want to see an implementation.

Even so, Rakudo (and any other Perl6 implementation) is *not* the successor to Perl5. It's an unfortunate naming scheme that people don't understand, and although there are similar and borrowed elements between the two, they do not directly relate to each other.

If you want to see activity, check out web frameworks like Mojolicious (http://mojolicio.us), or installation tools like Perlbrew (http://perlbrew.pl). There's also plenty of activity going on @ sites like: http://blogs.perl.org/, http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/, http://perlbuzz.com/.

Not to mention plenty of jobs always coming across the wire @ http://jobs.perl.org/. Which, interestingly enough, some rubyists copied - http://jobs.rubynow.com/

Mojolicious is definitely the new hotness in web frameworks. No cruft, just outright flexibility and usefulness; most importantly, it's pretty. So pretty. The ability to distribute apps in one self-contained file and deploy a production http server, without any installation, goes beyond cool and well into the ream of," shnikies, that's awesome".
