I'm an admin, perl saved my life...
However, yesterday, some simple IO::Socket scripts failed to work on 5.6. I'm not
addressing that here but my resulting thought is now that the
distribution should only include such core components as are necessariy to define
perl's behavior.
Those should be kept short as sweet and there should be real-time testing at every
stage of development.
Otherwise we will lose our position as the mission critical control language.
Oh yeah, there should also be as much ( if not more ) documentation as ( or than )
code as well,
Cheers, John
