Not Your Grandfather’s Perl
With function signatures and state variables added in 5.010, I consider Perl feature-complete and have not really missed anything from it for as long as I've been writing Perl.What I do appreciate that's missing from many other languages and systems is the extreme committment to backwards compatibility. The knowledge that the next minor release won't break existing scripts is underrated, IMO.Solo project with ~23K LOC of Perl and counting here. Bless you, Larry Wall and Perl maintainers. Keep it up!
