-the Fourth Perl Conference, or TPC4) held in Monterey, California in
-July 2000, Larry Wall announced that Perl6 development would begin in earnest.

+announced Perl6 development would begin in earnest. Perl6 was an oft
+used term for Chip Salzenberg's project to rewrite Perl in C++ named
+Topaz. However, Topaz should not be confused with the nisus to rewrite
+Perl while keeping the lessons learned from other software, as well as
+Perl5, in mind.
