"THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ANSWER"
Best current estimate - a year from now to a Beta release - that's October 2005
A further year to a production release - that's October 2006
Please do not treat this as anything more than a guestimate, and if it's 2005 by the time you're reading this (I wrote it mid October 2004) please look elsewhere on this site for my updates.
We already have a module on Perl 6 that we can include into our Perl courses already to give forward-lookers a view of the future and to help them plan.
