I realise that I am an old and useless programmer, a dinosaur even, but
is all this going to add up to a language that is:-
a) easier to learn
b) faster both to parse and execute
c) still something that could reasonably be called perl?

Not any harder anyway. There's more to learn obviously because there is
more functionality.

Yup. Lots more room for optimisation with declaration of args and the
more complex typing.

I think so from what I've seen. Your milage may vary.
You also forgot:
d) more useful
Which, for me, is a resounding "Hell yeah!". I want macros,
multimethods and methodsubs *now* :-)

Well, O'Reilly probably doesn't want me to scoop them in public, but
I'm in the final edit phase of
Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules
which is the sequel in form and function to the Llama. And yes, it'll
have an alpaca on the cover. It's the textbook for our 4-day class
that follows the llama course. Exercises with answers, and jokes.
Expected debut at the OSCON this summer.
