No, I should have clarified. It was before perl6, when perl5 was being stretched apart and people were begging to add features that couldn't be accommodated. The main reason, IMO for the tension on perl5 was related to engineering and technical reasons, the feeling that perl5 wasn't going places and there was no way to remedy the situation; sort of like steam building in a pot that's closed on top of a stove.. Now that perl6 is going, IMO things are much smoother now.. Ed
