The best answer I believe is here: http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/index.html This is a blog written by chromatic, who is currently working on a book called "Modern Perl." The idea is a bit amorphous, in that everybody seems to have a different take on what it is, but my interpretation is this: Perl 5 has gone through more than 15 years of evolution. Best practices have emerged (even more since PBP) but worst practices still persist and some folks feel it's time for the community to finally think about what should stay and what should go and what should be added (to core) - if anything. Even if we choose to keep deprecated things, and not make new things part of core, the debate will hopefully yield new and better ideas for Perl's future and encourage the community to teach and learn and show off the best of what Perl is and can be. -- -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
