I'm out by 29 minutes.
Could you please post this for me:

The upcoming Perl 6 release will ship with a significantly reduced set of
operators. This will allow Perl to increase its execution speed with
approximately 35% over the alternative covering current functionality. One
of the features supposedly dropped is the $operator because global variables
jams the instruction pipeline optimizer severely. Key Perl developers have
left the project in protest, but the decision remains firm. The Perl spirit
dictates that there is more than one way to do it and this also goes for how
to implement Perl.
