Should we be focus on converting perl5 people, or converting people
completely new to Perl?  My hope is that perl5 folks won't need much
convincing -- perhaps a tutorial/summary of changes -- whereas Perl has
gotten a *bad* reputation from outsiders, who say the language is
completely incomprehensible.

In other words, do you think we're going to have an issue with Perl5
converts big enough to require them to have documentation tailored to
them explicitly (as opposed them using the normal "beginner" stuff?)  I
don't know the answer, but I know what I'm hoping it will be.
