funny list :)

I would want to keep format, but make it work, and make it actually work, also on lexical file handles, nestable, extendable, versatile etc etc. There are a few useful modules on CPAN already, but none of them actually makes it easy to convert from the good ol' format to what the modules offer. They all have their merrits. Let's bundle and make it useful!

I'd throw out threads. Completely.

I'd make auto-conversion from 32bit ints to 64bit ints to bignum and vv more native, so you never loose significance on integers

I would remove modules from CORE that do not belong in CORE, such as CGI and Text::SoundEx

I'd like the TIE system to be more transparant, and work on all data types (currently Tie::Handle is broke, and there is no Tie::Format. Imagine the fun you could have with the latter

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
