 At The Second O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention, Larry Wall            
 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.
+Topaz. However, Topaz provided valuable insights to the next version
+of Perl and its implementation, but was ultimately abandoned.
