I don't know, maybe because people like change and/or want to just try something new.
I came into programming little too late to even consider perl5. It's just something I've read through as part of setting up irssi script(s).
To me Perl6 seems fun based on the few things I've read and I don't see any reason not to give it a go. Sure I won't be using it in any "production" build anytime soon, but hey maybe its setup beats the hassle that ruby/rvm brings with it and maybe it's more fun than python.
