Tell us how to do it, Andi!
Andi Gutmans, founder of Zend which drives PHP, takes a swipe at Perl 6 in this interview:
So we are anticipating a long rollout cycle for PHP 6, and we did not want to take the same route that the Perl project did, with project contributors still working on Perl 6 I think six years later. People make fun of Microsoft, but take a look at Perl 6. . . .
Sure, PHP 6 may have a shorter release cycle than Perl 6 has, but at the end of it all, we'll have Perl 6, and you'll still have PHP.
Just sayin'.
xoxo,
Andy

It gets more fun. Zend pays people to hack on PHP -- and I assume more than $10k once every few years -- and the big new feature of PHP 6 is Unicode, probably. Namespaces'll get cut again.
I'd post the list of new features in Perl 6, but my fingers will get tired.
