I've been reading the first few chapters of "Perl6 Essentials" and I
have two quick (generic) questions:

(1) Don't you think that whereas the new language will indeed be more
consistent and robust, it will also be *slightly* less magic?

(2) Perl is known for being inspired from a mixture of many other
languages/programs. It seems evident that the new OO features of Perl6
resemble a lot those of some widely used OO languages, but are there
any other languages that specifically influenced some choices about
its syntax and semantic?

you'll see that it shouldn't be so. AND, the writting as usuall is
fantastic incompetent. To illustrate, i quote:

  "perl bug File::Basename and Perl's nature"
